The Frequency of Occurrence of Paint and Glass on the Clothing of High School Students

ABSTRACTThe frequency of occurrence of paint chips and glass fragments on the outer clothing and footwear of 213 high school students from different areas of the city of Vancouver was determined. Paint and glass respectively were found on ca. 14% and 2% of the outer clothing items, and on ca. 24% and 5% of footwear. These figures are significantly lower than figures reported in similar studies in the last 25 years.
