Abstract
In the present study, concentration, distribution and speciation of trace metals were conducted to assess the overall classification of Ni, Cu and Pb as well as their risk status in the surface sediments of Klang River. Sequential extraction technique (SET) was used to evaluate the four (exchangeable, acid-reducible, oxidisable-organic and residual) fractions of the surface sediments.
