Status and Contamination Level of the Wastewater of Gebeng Industrial Estate, Pahang, Malaysia

The pH of the water of the studied stations was slightly acidic to neutral, while EC was included within recommended standard. The contamination intensity, pollution level, classification of water indicated that the wastewater having higher contamination level, especially, BOD, COD, NH3-N, PO4, Pb,...
