Polychaete is segment worm of the Phylum Annelida are the best represented in the
marine habitat. Polychaete sample are collected from wild to compare the heavy metal
concentration between Setiu and Tanjung Lumpur. This sample were analyse using
Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and mercury analyser to
examine the sample collected from Setiu and Tanung Lumpur. The hypothesis is the
sample from Tanjung Lumpur have relatively higher heavy metal concentration due to
near the town. The result show that Lithium (Li), Beryllium (Be), Boron (B), Iron (Fe),
Cobalt (Co), Nickel (Ni), Arsenic (As), Cadmium (Cd), Lead (Pb), and Thallium (Tl) is
higher in Tanjung Lumpur sample compare to the sample from Setiu. The mercury
result from Setiu and Tanjung Lumpur are arrange in low level. Concentration heavy
metal and mercury can consume that Tanjung Lumpur is more pollutant than Setiu.
