In this paper, heavy metal concentrations in the sediment cores (0 to 42cm) collected from two sampling sites located at the northern part of the Straits of Malacca were determined. The sampling sites were chosen from water depths of 83 m and 50 m in order to see the differences of heavy metal conce...
