Metal exposure in respirable & inhalable dust by the locality of coal-fired power plant

The surrounding area of the coal-fired power plant is mostly exposed to its chemical contents. The world has witnessed multi cases relevant to mortality due to overexposure to coal materials. However, these factors have not been faced by the Malaysians. Still, it is significant to monitor and contro...

The highest concentration found in Iron was at 4.710 ng m-3 for respirable dust and Zinc for inhalable dust at 7.387 ng m-3; thus, claiming both Iron and Zinc as the dominant metals in Manjung.
