This study aims to examine heavy metal contamination in the vicinity of EMC based on the data obtained by using handheld XRF in the laboratory of GMIT. The research was carried out on 48 samples in the fall of 2020. Given that the number of samples and devoid of confirmatory analysis, the result of the present study is preferable to get a general picture of the contamination level.
