Heavy metal quantification of classroom dust in school environment and its impacts on children health from Rawang (Malaysia). Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 25, 34623-34635.https://repoemc.ukm.my/handle/123456789/1284This study aimed to determine bioavailable heavy metal concentrations (As, Cd, Co, Cu, Cr, Ni, Pb, Zn) and their potential sources in classroom dust collected from children’s hand palms in Rawang (Malaysia). This study also aimed to determine the association between bioavailable heavy metal concentration in classroom dust and children’s respiratory symptoms. Health risk assessment (HRA) was applied to evaluate health risks (non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic) due to heavy metals in classroom dust.enHeavy metalClassroom dustChildrenRespiratory symptomsHealth risksCarcinogenicNon-carcinogenicJournal
