Research ArticleOpen accessConcentration of Zn, Cu and Pb in Some Selected Marine Fishes of the Pahang Coastal Waters, MalaysiaB. Y. Kamaruzzaman, M. C. Ong, S. Z. RinaProblem statement: Heavy metals constitute one of the most hazardous substances that could be accumulated in biota. Fish populations exploited by man often live in coastal area environments that contain high levels of heavy metals, coming from human activities such as industrial and agricultural wastes. A problem to deal when using fishes as biomonitors of heavy metals is the relationship … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 10,004 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAn Assessment of Metals (Pb and Cu) Contamination in Bottom Sediment from South China Sea Coastal Waters, MalaysiaM. C. Ong, B. Y. KamaruzzamanProblem statement: The accumulation of metal contaminants in sediments can pose serious environmental problems to the surrounding areas. Trace metal contamination in sediment could affect the water quality and the bio-assimilation and bioaccumulation of metals in aquatic organisms, resulting in potential long-term implications on human health and ecosystem. Approach: About 154 bottom sediment samples were collected using Smith McIntyre in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,991 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessSeasonal Distribution of Organic Carbon in the Surface Sediments of the Terengganu Nearshore Coastal AreaS. Hasrizal, B. Y. Kamaruzzaman, I. Sakri et al.Problem statement: The distribution of organic carbon in the surface sediment is a crucial indicator for current productivity in the ocean especially in the nearshore area. The difference of organic carbon in the surface sediment reflects the influence of current movement on the bottom sediment. Approach: This study was carried out to oversee the difference of organic carbon distribution during … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,473 accessesView PDF Cite
