Geochemical studies of Setiu lagoon, Terengganu, Malaysia

26 surfical sediment of Setiu lagoon were collected in order to analyze the heavy metals concentrations using the sensitive Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS). Results from this study revealed that the average sediment concentration of lead (Pb), cobalt (Co) and copper (Cu) were 2...
