Distribution of some heavy metals in Kelang River Estuary

The distribution of copper, lead, mercury and zinc in the Kelang River estuary were studied. Six stations were selected for sampling. Two of these stations were in the fresh waterregme while the rest were in the estuarine zone. The dissolved and total copper, lead and zinc concentrations in the...
