dc.description.abstractUrban areas with rapid industrial development have major impacts on environmental soil quality. This study was carried out to determine contamination assessment of heavy metal concentration of urban soil from Klang district (Malaysia). Health risk assessment was used to determine potential health risks (carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks) in both adults and children. Moreover, this study was also used to identify the most significant contaminant and exposure pathway with regard to Klang urban soil.
