Analysis of rainwater in historical cities plays a key role to save ancient monuments from atmospheric agents. In this study we sampled the Rome’s rainwater from February to July of 2018 and we analysed them to determine their chemical and physical parameters: pH, redox potential, conductivity, temperature, and the concentration of the main inorganic ions (Na+, K+, Ca++, Mg++, F−, Cl−, NO3−, SO4−−). The volume of the daily fallen rainwater, the speed and direction of the wind in the sampling site were also collected. In order to find a correlation between all the above data we used the Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Results evidenced that there aren’t authentic “acid rains” as the minimum pH value that we found is 5.2. In some cases high concentrations of nitrates and sulphates were found with maximum values of 12.4 ppm and 18.7 ppm respectively. We also found no correlation between the rainwater’s composition and the seasonal period; on the contrary, the speed and direction of the wind, especially when coming from the sea or industrial country near Rome, play a noticeable role on the rainwater composition.

The levels of arsenic, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, iron, lead, manganese, nickel, and zinc in some glutenfree food samples used for celiac disease patients have been determined after microwave digestion by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The concentrations were found in the range of 0.09-0.66 (As), 2.9-6.6 (Cd), 4.7-100.3 (Cr), 866-2009 (Co), 0.043-0.26 (Cu), 3.2-17.4 (Fe), 1.4-10.5 (Pb), 12.9-41.3 (Mn), 0.35-0.46 (Ni) and 0.021-0.268 (Zn) mg kg -1 .

“…During the last years, soil pollution due to toxic heavy metals has attracted increasing attention as a serious worldwide health and environmental problem [12,14,16] . Several environmental studies have shown that the major sources of soil contamination by heavy metals are irrigation with contaminated water (municipal and industrial waste water), vehicular emissions, disposal of industrial wastes, agricultural activities, mining activities, fossil fuel combustion, wear of brake lining materials, road paint degradation, repair of damaged roads, as well as the application of large quantities of chemical fertilizers and metal-based pesticides [14,[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] .…”

“…In this context, several metals are known to be directly related to road traffic, such as Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Cr, Co, Ni, As, Ba, Sb, Mn, V, Pt, Pb and Rh [16,21,22,28] . Of these, Pb, Cd, Cr, Cu, Co and Zn are the major metal pollutants of the roadside environments, originating from the combustion of leaded fuel, wearing out of car tires, oil leakage and corrosion of batteries [12,21,23] .…”

In this study, the concentrations of selected heavy metals (Al, Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Pb, Co, Fe, Ni, V and Zn) in roadside soil samples were determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) after microwave digestion. A total of sixty roadside soil samples were collected during July 2018 from seventeen sampling sites (5 km apart) from both sides along Irbid-Amman highway, Jordan. The average concentrations (±SD) of the investigated metals in the analyzed soil samples were found to be 18400 (± 11200), 6.0 (± 4.7), 132 (± 47), 49 (± 26), 695 (± 310), 96 (± 53), 78 (± 32), 31800 (± 12600), 116 (± 67), 141 (± 74) and 129 (± 112) µg/g for Al, Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Pb, Co, Fe, Ni, V and Zn, respectively. With exception of Mn, the enrichment factors for the investigated metals in roadside soils were found to be more than 10, indicating anthropogenic sources such as automobile traffic. In the absence of any industrial activities in the sampling sites, the high concentrations of the investigated metals suggest that automobile emissions are the major source of roadside soil pollution. The results obtained in this study showed that metal concentrations in the analyzed soil samples are strongly influenced by the wind direction and traffic density in the investigated area. The higher metal concentrations on the west side of the road were due to the easterly prevailing wind in the studied area. As expected, the concentrations of heavy metals decreased with increasing distance from the edge of the road. The results obtained in this work were compared with the literature values.
