| description | 14 cm cores sediments from the Paka River were analyzed for Mn, Cu, Zn, Pb
and Th using the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS).
Generally, the concentrations of all elements decreased with depth and have
significantly higher concentration at the surface depth of the core. The
concentration of Mn and Cu have average value of 151.1 ± 59.1 mg/g dry
weights and 29.2 ± 6.9 mg/g dry weights, while Zn and Pb averaged at 72.5 ±
15.5 mg/g dry weights and 54.9 ± 2.5 mg/g dry weights, respectively. Th were
slightly varied widely and ranged from 0.6 mg/g dry weights to 1.4 mg/g dry
weights. In this study, only Mn and Th have enrichment factor (EF) values close
to unity and may therefore be considered to be predominantly terrigenous in
origin. On the contrary, the higher EF values found for Cu, Zn and Pb indicate
that these metals might have some influenced from the anthropogenic input |
