URBAN & INDUSTRIAL SITES

Background Site Rural Site

T he se le c te d e le me nt (me r c ur y, c oppe r , le ad and c admium) we r e c olle c te d and analyze d in 3 urban/industrial sites

(Petaling Jaya, Perai and Kuching) and 2 remote sites ( Cameron Highlands and Danum Valley) from 2003-2014 and can be concluded as follows:-

• The Detection Limit for Copper is 0.02 µmol/L; Lead 0.005 µmol/L ,

Cadmium 0.009 µmol/L and Mercury 0.005 µmol/L

• The element of Mercury is non-detectable (Detection Limit <0.005

µmol/L) throughout the years (2003-2014) for all stations.

 Cadmium can be detected in GAW Danum Valley Site and the value

ranged from 0 – 0.1 µmol/L.

 Coppe r

is the main he avy me tal e le me nt found in r ainwate r sample s and the value r ange d fr

• m 0 - 0.60 µmol/L .

 Lead was found only in urban /Industrial sites such as Petaling

Jaya and Perai stations and it ranged from 0 - 0.38 µmol/L .
