Analysis of cadmium and chromium content in raw and treated leachate from Jerangau-Jabor landfill site, Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia

Raw and treated leachate collected from Jerangau-Jabor Landfill Site (JJLS), Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia were analyzed for the content of cadmium and chromium. The presence of these heavy metals was monitored and analyzed using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (FAAS). The metal analyses results...
