Johor Strait as a hotspot for trace elements contamination in Peninsular Malaysia

Present study was conducted to evaluate current status of trace elements contamination in the surface sediments of the Johor Strait. Iron (2.54 ± 1.24%) was found as the highest occurring element, followed by those of zinc (210.45 ± 115.4 μg/g), copper (57.84 ± 45.54 μg/g), chromium (55.50 ± 31.24 μ...
