Assessment of heavy metal contamination in soil due to landfill leachate and industrial wastewater

| Summary: | Leachate is the liquid that drained through the solid waste and produce the hazardous liquid. Besides, the wastewater from all these industries can contain a lot of heavy metals, oil, organic chemical and acids. All the pollutants can affect the human health and environment quality. In addition, these pollutant also can affect the quality of groundwater and agricultural crops. There are 12 samples were examined in order to know the concentration of heavy metal that came from Kuantan Jabor-Jerangau integrated landfill and car workshop near Gambang by using the atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Heavy metals that have been tested were Cu, Cd, Zn and Pb. The method used to know the level of pollution and contamination in soil due to the heavy metal concentration were geoaccumulation index ( |
