Seasonal influences on the levels of particulate matter, Cd, Cr and Pb in Kuantan River, Pahang

Temporal and spatial variations of selected toxic elements distributions were studied along the Kuantan River. Surface and bottom waters from 9 sampling stations were taken from the estuary towards the upstream of Kuantan River using Van-Dorn water sampler during the rainy and dry season. Water samp...
