Seasonal variation and mobility of trace metals in the beach sediments of NW Borneo. Chemosphere, 287, 132069.https://repoemc.ukm.my/handle/123456789/898Miri city has a dynamic coastal environment, mainly influenced by intensive sedimentation from the Baram River and excessive trace metal loading by the Miri River, which are significant environmental concerns. As the mobility, bioavailability, and toxicity of the trace metals in the sediments are largely controlled by their particulate speciation, the modified BCR sequential extraction protocol was applied to determine the particulate speciation of trace metals in the coastal sediments of Miri, to unravel the seasonal geochemical processes responsible for known observations, and to identify possible sources of these trace metals.BCR sequential ExtractionContamination factorGeo-accumulation indexRisk assessment codeMiri coastJournal
