Abstract

This study was conducted at Felda Tekam in Jengka, Pahang, Malaysia in
order to determine the contents of heavy metals in selected agricultural
soil. Three agricultures soil were collected and concentration of Cd, Cr, Ni
and Zn were determine. Contamination factor (CF), pollution load index
(PU) and geo-accumulation index (I-geo) were used to estimate the
contaminant of heavy metal in soil. Three agricultures area involved were
durian agriculture, jackfruit agriculture and mangosteen agriculture. Paved
road, unpaved road and around the tree as the sources chosen for this
study. Cd was found at the lowest concentration ranged between 0.01 0.013
mg/kg.. CFs of Durian agriculture was very high contamination
respected to Cr (5.787), Ni (4.0) and Zn (5.411). Meanwhile, CFs for
sources of heavy metal was very high contaminant at paved road respected
to Cr (5.026), Ni (3.267) and Zn (3.244). The values of Pollution Load
Index (PLI) were found at very low range that was below than one. Geoaccumulation
index indicates that the sediment in the overall of studied
area was unpolluted (grade 0) with respected to Cd, Cr, Ni and Zn.
