| Summary: | In this study, four core marine sediment samples from
the Strait of Malacca were collected and analyzed by using
instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). This work
was carried out to evaluate the level of heavy metal pollution
in the water-body. In addition, inductively coupled
plasma-mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) technique was used
for non-measurable elements by INAA. The following
heavy metals (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sb and Zn)
have been determined in the core sediment samples collected
from the Strait of Malacca. Moreover, the obtained
results were compared to the national studies and the international
guidelines for marine sediments. |
