Spatial distribution of selected trace metals at tropical riverine system

This study determined the distribution of selected trace metals (Cu, Cd, Zn and Pb) in the dissolved and particulate samples at Sungai Buloh river, Malaysia. The dissolved Zn, Cd, Cu and Pb concentration along the river was in the safety range. The dissolved and particulate Zn, Pb, Cu and Cd concent...
