Abstract
This 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.
