Abstract/Summary
The Lead, Cadmium, Zinc and Copper content in the acid digested perna viridis samples from Bacoor, Cavite Baclaran Candelaria, Quezon and Limay, Bataan were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy.
The concentration of these metals were obtained from their respective standard calibration curves. Among all the samples, the sample from Bo. Luz, Limay, Bataan which was contaminated with red tide had the highest concentration for the lead, Cadmium and Copper while its Zinc concentration was the second highest.
