Surface sediment samples were collected in the Gulf of Thailand and South China Sea during pre-monsoon and post-monsoon periods. Eighty-one stations were sampled for trace metal analyses i. e., lead (Pb), iron (Fe), chromium (Cr) and manganese (Mn). Results during the pre-monsoon shows that, metals...
