Abstract:
Dissolve and particulate trace metals (Pb, Cd, Cu, Fe and Zn) were determined in the
Nerus River, Terengganu. In this study, sampling was carried out six times at nine
stations and water samples were collected with Van Dom water sampling equipment.
Dissolved metals were pre -concentrated by APDC -MIBK solvent extraction and
back extracted into dilute nitric acid. Particulate metals were digested in a microwave
lab station and both of the dissolve and particulate metals were analyzed using ICP -
OES.
