Geochemical assessment and spatial distributions of trace elements in the surface sediments of the Strait of Malacca

Abstract

The Strait of Malacca is one of the major shipping routes in naval logistics linking Indian and Pacific Oceans, which later these activities contributed to the trace metal accumulation in the Strait of Malacca. To assess the source of geochemical elements along with several factors affecting the concentrations in the surface sediments, five surface sediments were collected for physiochemical studies along the Strait of Malacca
