Abstract

Indoor air quality which is an important indicator of public health, affects not only human health but also sequence quality of the life which is significantly more important. Therefore, the monitoring and controlling of indoor air quality is important as well as outdoor air quality. This study aims to determine how the amount of heavy metal pollution in indoor dust. Factors such as the living close to a major road (in terms of polluters being emitted from traffic), heating source kind, the number of students in the class, wall paint kind of the wall are taken into account when selecting samples in order to be taken as points. Different points of samples needs to be taken from various points, such as the window edge, aerators, ladders, class board, and after the solubilization process, heavy metal concentrations will be determined by using the device of Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer.
