Multivariate analysis of heavy metals concentrations in river estuary. Environmental monitoring and assessment, 143, 179-186.https://repoemc.ukm.my/handle/123456789/1557Multivariate statistical techniques such as multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and discriminant analysis (DA) were applied for analyzing the data obtained from two rivers in the Penang State of Malaysia for the concentration of heavy metal ions (As, Cr, Cd, Zn, Cu, Pb, and Hg) using a flame atomic absorption spectrometry (F-AAS) for Cr, Cd, Zn, Cu, Pb, As and cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry (CV-AAS) for Hg. The two locations of interest with 20 sampling points of each location were Kuala Juru (Juru River) and Bukit Tambun (Jejawi River).enRiver estuaryMANOVADiscriminant analysisHeavy metalF-AASCV-AASJournal
