Study of bioindicator at mangrove island: Case study of Carey Island

2012 IEEE Symposium on Business, Engineering and Industrial Applications, 2012
This paper reviews on the bioindicator for Carey Island which is one of the mangrove islands in Malaysia. The bioindicator was used to assess the level of river pollution at Judah, Air Hitam and Keluang River rather than using normal test such as Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) tests.

Is the Urban Heat Island intensity relevant for heat mitigation studies?

, 2020
The Urban Heat Island concept is often used to describe ‘excess’ heat associated with urban areas, and is therefore frequently considered to be a negative phenomenon that requires mitigation. In this short communication we use clear examples to show that

Study of soil contamination at mangrove Island: Case study of Carey Island

2012 IEEE 8th International Colloquium on Signal Processing and its Applications, 2012
This paper reviews on the soil condition for three rivers at Carey Island namely Air Hitam, Judah and Keluang River. The activities on the island such as palm oil industries are believed affect the soil. Thus a study was carried out to determine the parameters of pH value, total sulphates, chloride content, total organic carbon (TOC), inorganic carbon (
