| description | The assessments ofelemental polluti oinn sediment collected from national park ofSarawak were done based on
their distribution pattern ,geoaccumulation index and enrichment factor ,The enrichment factor s(EF )were
determined by the elemental rationing method, whilst the geoaccumulati oinndex (Ig .by. )comparing of current
concentration to background concentration of metals, The elements were analyzed by using Instmmenta1
Neutron Activatio nAnalysis (INAA) .The results of enrichment facto rshow tha tTalang-Satang and Bako
National Park have significant contaminated by toxic elements such as As, Cr, Sb, Ti and U. Base on the
classification system proposed for sediment qualit ywith referring to Ig. ,the sediment quali tyof the
Talang-Satang and Bako National Park for Arsenic (As) contamination can be categorized as moderate to
extremely contaminated. Contamination of element such as Cr, Sb and Ti can be categorized as uncontaminated
to moderate contaminated, and U can be categorized as uncontaminated to moderate and strong contaminated,
The average concentration of As in sediment of Bako shown surpassed sediment qualit yguidelin eCprobable
effect concentration - PEC) value, whilst Cr concentration in sediment of Talang-Satang shown above midpoint
effect concentration (MEC) .This indicatin gt,he sediment ofBako and Talang-Satang could have a potentia lfor
producing chronic effect to the marine biot aor benthi ocrganism. |
