Heavy metals in Kuala Lumpur municipal solid waste

Considering the advantages of Municipal Solid Waste Incineration over other alternatives for MSW generated by the residents of Kuala Lumpur, a study was carried out to determine the loads of heavy metals in the MSW. Direct determination from collected MSW samples was carried out using Atomic Absorpt...
