| Abstract: | A total of 20 surficial sediment samples were collected from Johor Port, East Coast of Peninsular Malaysiaon May 2014 by using Smith McIntyre grab. These sediments were analyzed for its grain size using particle size analyzer (PSA) to find out the relationship between grain size and heavy metal concentrations. The concentration of heavy metals were measured from the 63 um fraction of the dried sediments and analyzed using ICPMS. The heavy metals studied were: Fe, Mn, Zn, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, As, Co, Cd and Hg. Results showed that the study area was dominated with silt loam (90%) and same percentages of loamy sand (5%) and sandy loam (5%). |
