| Summary: | Analysis of samples of the grass Axonopus compressus, Beauv. and soil in and around Kuala Lumpur
shows the distribution of particulate lead to be strongly influenced by traffic density. In certain areas the lead
contamination in grass has reached the toxic level for cattle,. other areas are approaching similar levels.
Levels of lead in grass (as high as 200 ppm) at Jalan Tembusu were recorded while soil in the same
area gave a value greater than 700 ppm. |
