Explains how the researchers collected air pollution monitor data and used it to determine how pollution levels varied based on how far they measured from the pollution sources--and found that concentrations of heavy metal pollution was highest at the areas closest to the emitting facilities, and. decreased significantly within 100 meters, and got closer to background levels at about 600 meters.
