Heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Ph and Zn) concentrations in telescopium telescopium from Dumai Coastal Waters, Indonesia

Concentrations of cadmium, copper, lead and zinc in the marine gastropod, Telescopium telescopium, were determined to provide background information on heavy metal levels in the Straits of Malacca in the Indonesian side. Samples ofT. telescopium were collected from intertidal Dumai coastal waters...
