Applying the 210Pbexcess&nbsp;method, average sedimentation rates of 0.21 cmyr-1&nbsp;was obtained.&nbsp; The estimated sedimentation rates obtained was comparable to other related studies in South China Sea and other coastal areas elsewhere.&nbsp; Assuming that the sedimentation rate values are accurate, this implies that the sediments in the upper 30 cm were deposited during the last 143 years ago.<br /> &nbsp;</p> https://journalofchemistry.org/paper/799/ sedimentation rate Terengganu coastal water
