Item Embargo Consumption of water from ex-mining ponds in Klang Valley and Melaka, Malaysia: A health risk study(Elsevier, 2018) Isa Baba Koki; Kah Hin Low; Hafizan Juahir; Munirah Abdul Zali; Azman Azid; Sharifuddin Md ZainEvaluation of health risks due to heavy metals exposure via drinking water from ex-mining ponds in Klang Valley and Melaka has been conducted. Measurements of As, Cd, Pb, Mn, Fe, Na, Mg, Ca, and dissolved oxygen, pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solid, ammoniacal nitrogen, total suspended solid, biological oxygen demand were collected from 12 ex-mining ponds and 9 non-ex-mining lakes. Exploratory analysis identified As, Cd, and Pb as the most representative water quality parameters in the studied areas.Item Embargo Daily exposure to toxic metals through urban road dust from industrial, commercial, heavy traffic, and residential areas in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia: a health risk assessment(Springer, 2019) Ibrahim Sani Shabanda; Isa Baba Koki; Kah Hin Low; Sharifuddin Md Zain; Sook Mei Khor; Nor Kartini Abu BakarHuman health is threatened by significant emissions of heavy metals into the urban environment due to various activities. Various studies describing health risk analyses on soil and dust have been conducted previously. However, there are limited studies that have been carried out regarding the potential health risk assessment of heavy metals in urban road dust of < 63-μm diameter, via incidental ingestion, dermal contact, and inhalation exposure routes by children and adults in developing countries. Therefore, this study evaluated the health risks of heavy metal exposure via ingestion, dermal contact, and inhalation of urban dust particles in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.Item Restricted Spatial assessment and source identification of heavy metals pollution in surface water using several chemometric techniques(Elsevier, 2016) Azimah Ismail; Mohd Ekhwan Toriman; Hafizan Juahir; Sharifuddin Md Zain; Nur Liyana Abdul Habir; Ananthy Retnam; Mohd Khairul Amri Kamaruddin; Roslan Umar; Azman AzidThis study presents the determination of the spatial variation and source identification of heavy metal pollution in surface water along the Straits of Malacca using several chemometric techniques. Clustering and discrimination of heavy metal compounds insurface water into two groups (northern and southern regions) are observed according to level of concentrations via the application of chemometric techniques.
