Abstract:
Heavy metal, organic carbon, particle size and physical parameters of Setiu estuary
sediments were measured Heavy metal concentrations are 42.9 ppm Li, 5.2 ppm Al,
302.7 ppm, Mn, 52.9 ppm Co, 61.2 ppm Cu, 70.2 ppm Cr. The average mean size is
1.07±0.53 0 which is medium sand. The content of organic carbon varied from 0.50 % to
2.36 % with average organic carbon of 1.83±0.80 %.
