This study aims to evaluate the presence of trace metals and metalloids in PM2.5 particles in Dhaka, utilizing Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) to identify and quantify the sources contributing to pollution. Additionally, a health risk assessment is conducted to understand the potential noncarcinogenic and carcinogenic risks for the population. By presenting clear data and findings, this poster aims to facilitate easy navigation of the research process, enabling a better understanding of the environmental and health impacts of air pollution in Dhaka.
