dc.description.abstractThe aim of this study is to determine the levels of selected heavy metals (Pb, Zn, Cd, Fe and Cr) at ten preschools in Selangor, Malaysia. Dust samples from the interior of classrooms and surface soils were collected using soft paint brushes while Kimwipes were used to collect samples of dust from interior walls and children's palms. Heavy metals in the dust samples were determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).
