ABSTRACT
Surface sediment samples
from 2 transects (20 sampling points) of Tanjung Lumpur mangrove forest were
analyzed for the concentrations of Pb, Cu, Co and Mn. In this study, the
average concentrations of Pb, Cu, Co and Mn were 44.41 μg/g dry weight,
32.79 μg/g dry weight, 5.79 μg/g dry weight and 117.73 μg/g dry
weight, respectively. The calculated enrichment factors (EF)
obtained for Co and Mn can be considered to have the terigeneous in sources
while Pb and Cu are considered to have anthropogenic input.

ABSTRAK
Sampel sedimen permukaan
daripada 2 transek (20 sampel) dari hutan paya bakau Tanjung Lumpur diukur
kepekatan Pb, Cu, Zn dan Co. Dalam kajian ini, purata kepekatan Pb, Cu, Co and
Mn adalah masing-masing 44.41 μg/g berat kering, 32.79 μg/g berat
kering, 5.79 μg/g berat kering dan 117.73 μg/g berat kering. Nilai
faktor pengayaan (EF) yang diperolehi bagi Co dan Mn
boleh dianggap terhasil daripada sumber terigenus semula jadi manakala logam Pb
dan Cu didapati mempunyai sumber input antropogenik.
Kata kunci: Co; Cu;
faktor pengayaan; Mn; Pb; Tanjung Lumpur
