Trace element levels in the sediments of Tanjung Karang estuary, Selangor, Malaysia

Sediment samples were obtained from six stations in the Tanjung Karang Estuary, Malaysia and analyzed for the trace elements such as Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu and Pb. Concentration of these elements ranged from 2.04-4.50 %, 446-698 μgg-1, 26.3-85.7 μgg-1, 2.63-18.1 μgg-1 and 10.6-28.0 μgg-1 for Fe, Mn, Zn, C...
