Concentrations of lead copper and zinc in the bottom sediments of Tuba island waters of Langkawi, Malaysia

Surface sediments were collected from Pulau Tuba (9 sampling points) has been analyzed for Pb, Cu and Zn by using the sensitive Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS). In this study, the average concentration of Pb, Cu and Zn were 43.28±8.95 μg.g-1 dry weights, 8.79±2.72 μg.g-1 dry we...
