Distributions of aluminium, cobalt, iron and manganese in the surface sediments of east coast of Peninsular Malaysia

Surface sediments samples from 30 stations at the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia were collected using the Smith McIntyre grab on June 2008 in order to determine the contents of selected trace metals using the Inductive Coupled Plasma- Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). The concentrations of Al, Fe, Co a...
