Determination of elements (Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb and Zn) in Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) hostel Shah Alam, Malaysia / Nurzulaifa Shaheera Erne Mohd Yasim, Siti Khadijah Mat Yaacob and Noradila Mohamed.
The purpose of this study is to determine the concentration of the selected elemental composition in a multi-storey hostel. Dust samples were taken from three random rooms at each level of the student hostel by sweeping the floor. The concentrations of elements (Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb and Zn) were determine...
