Chemical composition, sources, and health risks assessment of PM <sub>10</sub> and PM <sub>2.5</sub> -bound metals at an industrial site in Nigeria
The study measured air quality near metal recycling factories (MRFs), revealing elevated toxic elements (Pb, Cr, Cu, Mo, Ni, Zn) in PM10 and PM 2.5 . Lead (Pb) levels near MRFs may pose future health risks for children.
