Source apportionment
Analyzing Beijing kindergarten dust, the study measures heavy metal concentrations across particle sizes, applying health risk models and source apportionment to reveal that mid-sized dust (DT100) carries the highest contamination, largely from chromium, emphasizing size-driven contamination patterns.
