The status report on metal pollution in tropical estuaries and coastal waters is important to understand potential environmental health hazards. Detailed baseline measurements were made on physicochemical parameters (pH, temperature, redox potential, electrical conductivity, salinity, dissolved oxygen, total dissolved solid), major ions (Na, Ca, Mg, K, HCO3, Cl, SO4 and NO3) and metals concentrations ((27)Al, (75)As, (138)Ba, (9)Be, (111)Cd, (59)Co, (63)Cu, (52)Cr, (57)Fe, (55)Mn, (60)Ni, (208)Pb, (80)Se, (66)Zn) at estuaries and coastal waters along the Straits of Malacca. Principal component analysis (PCA) was employed to reveal potential pollution sources. Seven principal components were extracted with relation to pollution contribution from minerals-related parameters, natural and anthropogenic sources. The output from this study will generate a profound understanding on the metal pollution status and pollution risk of the estuaries and coastal system.
热带河口和沿海水域金属污染状况报告对于了解潜在的环境健康危害很重要。对理化参数（pH 值、温度、氧化还原电位、电导率、盐度、溶解氧、总溶解固体）、主要离子（Na、Ca、Mg、K、HCO3、Cl、SO4 和 NO3）和金属浓度（（27）Al、（75）As、（138）Ba、（9）Be、（111）Cd、（59）Co、（63）Cu、（52）Cr、（57）Fe、（55）Mn、（60）Ni、（208）Pb、（80）Se、（66）Zn）在马六甲海峡沿岸河口和沿海水域进行了详细的基线测量。采用主成分分析（PCA）揭示潜在的污染源。从与矿物相关参数、自然和人为来源的污染贡献相关的角度，提取了七个主成分。本研究的结果将深入了解河口和沿海系统的金属污染状况和污染风险。
