ABSTRAK
Sebanyak 40 sampel sedimen pantai Pulau Langkawi telah dianalisis bagi
menentukan kepekatan kandungan logam berat Co, Pb, Ni, Cr, Zn dan Cu. Sampel
permukaan sedimen diambil di kawasan Pulau Dayang Bunting, Pulau Tuba dan Selat
Kuah. Parameter sedimen yang mempengaruhi pengayaan logam berat seperti pH,
peratus kandungan bahan organik dan taburan saiz partikel sedimen juga
ditentukan. Data yang diperolehi menunjukkan kelimpahan kandungan logam berat
unsur Co, Pb, Ni, Cr, Zn, dan Cu di dalam sampel sedimen adalah masing-masing mempunyai
sela pada 13-75 µgg-1, 9-113 µgg-1, 3-57 µgg-1,
2-26 µgg-1, 8-69 µgg-1 dan 2-14 µgg-1. Nilai
pH dan kandungan bahan organik sedimen masing-masing mempunyai sela pada
3.95-8.39 dan 0.06-15.01%, manakala taburan saiz partikel didominasi oleh saiz
pasir iaitu melebihi 70%. Analisis korelasi bagi semua sampel menunjukkan
kelimpahan logam-logam berat di dalam sedimen dipengaruhi oleh kandungan bahan
organik, kelodak dan lempung, manakala korelasi antara kandungan logam berat
menunjukkan hubungan positif signifikan dengan semua unsur pada paras melebihi
1%. Secara keseluruhan kepekatan kandungan logam berat Co dan Pb di dalam
sedimen adalah tinggi menunjukkan sekitarannya telah tercemar yang berpunca
daripada aktiviti pembangunan pesat di sebelah daratan ataupun aktiviti kelautan.

ABSTRACT
A total of 40 surface sediment samples collected from Pulau Langkawi namely
Pulau Daya Bunting, Pulau Tuba and Selat Kuah were analyzed to determine the heavy metal content
such as Co, Pb, Ni, Cr, Zn and Cu. Sediment parameters such as pH, organic
matter content and particle size distribution usually considered influential in
heavy metal enrichment were also determined. The abundance of heavy metals
namely Co, Pb, Ni, Cr, Zn and Cu in sediment samples ranged at 13-75 µgg-1,
9-113 µgg-1, 3-57 µgg-1, 2-26 µgg-1, 8-69 µgg-1 and 2-14 µgg-1 respectively. The values of pH and organic matter
content ranged at 3.95-8.39 and 0.06-15.01% respectively, whilst the particle
size distribution was dominated by sand with values of more 70%. Correlation
analysis showed that the organic matter content and the presence of silt and
clay minerals controlled the abundance of heavy metal in the sediment, whereas
heavy metal content had a significant positive correlation at above 1% level
with all elements. The Co and Pb heavy metal concentration were above the
critical level where potential toxicity in soil and sediment may occur. This
could be attributed to input of effluent from development activity in the inland
or from the sea.
