| dc.description.abstract | Heavy metals study had been carried out at Sungai Kulim to justify whether Sungai Kulim is polluted with heavy metals elements or not. A total of 52 samples were collected from 26 different locations along the surveyed Sungai Kulim. The heavy metals that were determined including, Ca, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb, and Zn. The concentrations of each heavy metals element were determined by using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The concentrations of each element were compared with the drinking water standard provided by World Health Organisation (WHO) and Department of Environmental, Malaysia (DOE) to justify whether Sungai Kulim was contaminated with heavy metals or not. The outcome of the studied had proved that Sungai Kulim is free from the heavy metals pollutions. All the heavy metals‟ concentrations are below the drinking water standard as provided by WHO and DOE. | |
