Determination of heavy metals of Sarawak river sediments

Concentrations of eight heavy metals i.e. Zn, Cu, Ni, Fe, Co, Cd, Mg, and Pb were examined in the river sediments of the Sarawak River, Sarawak using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) in order to evaluate the contamination levels within the sediments. This study also aimed to determine the relati...
