Inhalable and respirable dust metal concentration in existing and construction stage of airport infrastructure

With the explosion due to shipment of Lithium-ion battery that causes the loss of MH370 issue raised in 2015, the aviation stakeholders begin to pay attention towards the metal compound to exist in and surrounding the flights and airport. This research supports this issue by critically analyzed th...
