Health risk assessment of metals bound to the fine particulate matter (PM2.5) at Jalan Mahkota, Kuantan

PM2.5 is respirable particles comprises of complex mixture of very small particles and liquid droplets that contains metals that has ability to penetrate into human body and affect human’s health. Thus, this study was carried out at to determine the concentration of PM2.5 at one of the busiest road...
