“…The accumulation of heavy metals in the muscles can increase because the body of the mudskipper fish is submerged in sea water, so that Cu can bind to the fish's skin and can diffuse into the muscles of the fish. The research by Yunus et al (2015) also reported that the high concentration of Cu in fish muscles was caused by high concentrations of Cu in seawater due to the contamination from factories near sea waters. Similarly, Jovanovic et al…”

The heavy metal pollution in marine environment is caused by industrial and mining waste (Gümgüm et al., 1994), geographical, industrial, agricultural, pharmaceutical, domestic, and atmospheric wastes (He et al., 2005;Tchounwou et al., 2012). According to Şireli et al. (2006) and WHO (2008), heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and cuprum are toxic, and are mostly found in marine environments. In addition, the heavy metals in marine environments cannot be degraded, and can accumulate in organisms through industrial, atmosphere, soil, water cycles and food chain processes (Ziyaadini et al., 2017;Rodríguez et al., 2015;Monsefrad et al., 2012;Naghshbandi et al., 2007).A lot of research has been conducted on the accumulation and distribution of heavy metals in marine environments and various biota, for example, the research on the heavy metal contamination in water and sediment conducted by (Bhuyan et al., 2017;Varol and Sen, 2012), and the research on heavy metal concentrations in Oysters (Crassostrea sp) in Setiu Wetlands, Terengganu (Shaari et al., 2016).

“…Subsequently, heavy metals that are released to the aquatic environment can bioaccumulate along the aquatic food chain (11), with prolonged and continuous consumption of contaminated aquatic organisms posing a significant health risk to the community (12). In fact, even in small amounts, heavy metals can either in the body or in a metabolically available form that affects essential biochemical processes (13).…”

“…For humans, heavy metal can enter the body by ingestion, inhalation, and absorption. Accidental or deliberate ingestion via contaminated food is the most common route for heavy metal to enter the human body (11,13) while exposure through inhalation can only happen when breathing in heavy metal in dust or vapour. Some heavy metals may cause acute and chronic toxicity while others will pass and excrete in the urine.…”

Introduction: Car wash premises consume large amounts of water that can later end up in the public irrigation system. This production of wastewater, which contains heavy metals, are both detrimental to the marine environment and unsustainable. Methods: In this study, sugarcane bagasse (SB), coconut pulp (CP) and sawdust (SD) were investigated to determine their potential usage as low-cost, heavy metals adsorbents. The morphology of these adsorbents was characterized using Spectrometry Electron Microscope (SEM), while presence of heavy metals constituents on selected adsorbents was analysed using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS). Adsorbents Adsorption efficiencies were calculated to determine the best adsorbent. Results: CP with a more porous structure promotes a larger surface area, compared to SB and SD. Adsorption was optimized at pH 4 in room temperature for 4 hours, with adsorbents particle between 0.5 mm and 2.5 mm in size. SD was the best adsorbent for Iron (Fe) and Copper (Cu) removal with 95.6% and 86.5% removal efficiencies. Meanwhile, CP was the best adsorbent for Zinc (Zn) and Manganese (Mn), with percentage removal of 78.9% and 24.8% respectively. Conclusion: The findings of this study can be used by relevant agencies for a better policy regarding on wastewater management and support the concept of turning waste to useful products.
