Avian diversity study focusing on islands in Malaysia is generally scarce compared to the unsurprisingly wealth of information on mainland birds. Similarly, Pulau Bidong is one of these islands with scarce ornithological information. It is located to the northwest of Kuala Terengganu, East Coast Peninsular Malaysia. A series of field surveys were conducted on the island between August 2014 and August 2016, using both point counts and mist netting methods to assess the bird species diversity at coastal area and within the forest canopy of the island. Unpublished data from 2006 were also added as it covers the Bidong trail area. Our results indicate that the total count is 26 species, belonging to 18 families and 23 genera. This species list is not exhaustive because the survey did not cover the main migration season from October to February, when it coincides with the monsoon season and rough weather. Further surveys will be needed to cover the nearby small islands in the archipelago.

This study was conducted to estimate the concentration of potassium bromate (KBrO3) in 21 samples of pastries and biscuits, and the absorption of samples was measured using a (Uv-Vis spectrophotometer). The results of this research showed that the amount of potassium bromate in the samples varies according to the sample, and the highest concentration was for the sample of Major Biscuits(567.5ppm). The lowest concentration was for 44 ppm mleeha cake sample. We conclude the use of an internationally banned carcinogen and prohibited by Libyan laws, as this study revealed the presence of high concentrations of it in the tested samples.
