Determination of Mercury In Biological Sample In Muar River Estuary
This study was carried out at the Muar River Estuary, Johore, Malaysia. Biological samples biota namely Crassostrea irredalei, Perna viridis and Anadara granosa were collected during the monsoon season in November 2005. These samples were dried and boiled in acid solution for analysis. Cold Vapor At...
