Abstract

Sediment samples were collected from 21 stations in the South China Sea offshore from Terengganu and analysed for cadmium copper nickel lead and zinc. The range of concentrations of metals were 1.30-5.57 micro g per g for cadmium 2.85-8.1 micro g per g for copper 8.5-26.5 micro g per g for nickel 15.5-29.5 micro g per g for lead and 22.7-49.2 micro g per g for zinc. The levels found in the present study were similar to data from other marine locations
