Abstract
A recreational river may be exposed to some extent of metal pollution. Two rivers, namely Sungai Weh and Sungai Jempul, were selected for this study, as both areas offer recreational activities for residents in Jengka, Pahang, Malaysia. This study examines the concentration of selected metals (Fe, Mn, and Pb), elucidates the possible sources, evaluates the toxicity loads, and estimates the potential health risk.
