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
