Heavy metal contents in highway runoff in Malaysia

Pavement runoff is considered as one of the major non-point pollution sources of heavy metals from typical urban areas. Storm runoff from five highway toll plazas located within the Klang Valley is being collected to study the heavy metal content. This study reports the initial findings on the co...
