Abstract
A study was carried out to determine the total accessions of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn in bulk precipitation, throughfall, stemflow, and litterfall at a secondary forest in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This study shows that the urban environment of Kuala Lumpur contributes a considerable amount of heavy metals to the atmosphere and forest floor as reflected by the high metal contents in bulk precipitation, throughfall and stemflow
