1.0 Introduction
Water quality monitoring is the study that involve three types of parameters which is biological, chemical and physical parameters (Lim et al., 2011). This research will focus on chemical parameters such as Nitrite-Nitrogen (NO2—N), Ammoniacal Nitrogen and Unionised
Ammonia, Chlorophyll-a, pH, total dissolve phosphorous, salinity and dissolved oxygen and physical parameters such as temperature. By doing this research, we can determine the pollution level at Pulau Bidong. The main sources of marine pollution are from land base activity such as wastewater and solid waste (BOBLME, 2011, cited by, Gasim et al., 2012).
Pulau Bidong have a lot of human activity that can contribute to increasing of water pollution level such as survival laut. So, this research need to be carry out to find out the pollution level at Pulau Bidong. Similar research had been carried out in Penang (Suami et al., 2011; Gasim et al., 2012; Lim et al., 2011) and Port Dickson (Praveena et al., 2011). Another water monitoring for entire Malaysia have been carried out using remote sensing and GIS. (Usali &
Ismail, 2010).
2.0 Literature Review
2.1 Nitrite-Nitrogen (NO2—N) and Nitrate-Nitrogen (NO3—N)
Nitrite (NO2) can be produce through oxidation ammonia or reduction of Nitrate (NO3).
The use of Nitrite and Nitrate is to investigate nitrification of bacteria under anaerobic condition from the
