Flame Atomic Adsorption Spectrophotometer (FAAS) to Assess the Concentration of Heavy Metals (Pb, Cd, Cr, and Zn) in Porites Coral from Ambon Bay, Indonesia
Abstract:The concentration of metals in coral represents environmental changes, monsoonal variation, and human disturbance. Metals in coral were used as a proxy to evaluate the response of coastal areas to climatic and human stresses. In this study, several metals including lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr) and zinc (Zn) in Porites coral taken from Ambon Bay, Ambon Island, Indonesia, were investigated. The history of metals transient in the most populated island in Maluku Province is documented here from measureme… Show more
