Abstract
Oil spill occurs every day worldwide and oil contamination is a
significant contributor for the higher levels of heavy metals in the
environment. This study is purposely to summarize the heavy metals which
significant to major oil spill incidents around the world and effects of toxic
metals to human health. The study performed a comprehensive review of relevant
scientific journal articles and government documents concerning heavy metals
contamination and oil spills. Overall, the heavy metals most frequently been
detected in oil spill related study where Pb>Ni>V>Zn>Cd and caused
many effects to human health especially cancer. In conclusion, the comparison of heavy metal level between the post -
spill and baseline levels must be done, and implementation of continuous
monitoring of heavy metal. In
addition, the result based on the strategies must be transparent to public in
order to maintaining human health.
Keywords: oil spill, heavy
metal, human health, contaminants, water quality
Abstrak
Kejadian tumpahan minyak berlaku setiap
hari di seluruh dunia dan menjadi penyumbang yang signifikan terhadap tahap logam
berat yang tinggi dalam persekitaran. Kajian ini bertujuan merumuskan spesies
logam berat yang signifikan dengan kejadian tumpahan minyak utama di seluruh
dunia dan kesan logam berbahaya ini terhadap kesihatan manusia. Kajian ini
dijalankan dengan membuat ulasan yang menyeluruh melalui jurnal saintifik
berkaitan dan dokumen rasmi kerajaan berkenaan pencemaran logam berat dan
tumpahan minyak. Keseluruhannya,logam berat yang paling banyak dikesan adalah
Pb>Ni>V>Zn>Cd dan menyebabkan banyak kesan kepada manusia
terutamanya penyakit kanser. Secara konklusinya, perbandingan tahap logam berat
selepas tumpahan minyak dengan tahap asal perlu dilakukan beserta pemantauan
berterusan. Selain itu, keputusan daripada strategi di atas perlulah mudah
diakses kepada orang awam dalam usaha mengekalkan kesihatan orang ramai.
Kata
kunci: tumpahan minyak, logam berat, kesihatan
manusia, bahan pencemar, kualiti air
