“…This process was continued until effervescence subsided, and the solutions were cooled (1,8,28). Finally, the content of the elements was analyzed using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometer (710-ES, Varian, Australia) at wavelengths of 228.615 nm for Co, 267.716 nm for Cr, and 257.610 nm for Mn.…”

“…Since airborne particulate matter (PM), especially the fine particle, is a potential source of toxic heavy metals for urban residents via inhalation, oral (ingestion), and also dermal absorption, they can cause adverse effects on human health. So, in recent years, concern about the quality of dust and atmospheric depositions has been growing around the world (7)(8)(9)(10)(11).…”

Background: Dust pollution can cause serious ecological problems. Therefore, the current study aimed to carry out the ecological risk assessment of heavy metals (Co, Cr, and Mn) in the atmospheric dry deposition in Hamedan city, Iran. Methods: In the current study, 36 samples of atmospheric dry deposition were collected from three regions of Hamedan city from September to October 2014. After sample digestion in the laboratory, the content of the metals was determined using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES). All statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS statistical package. Results:The results showed that the average contents (mg kg

“…Samples were collected by placing high-density polyethylene bucket (20 cm diameter) on an elevated tripod stand (1m) above the ground surface to minimize contamination from resuspended particles generated by traffic induced and natural wind. The bucket method was selected in this study because it has been successfully used in similar studies [17], and in the National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP), at more than 200 sites in the US [18]. Sample collectors were mounted each sampling day between 8h00 and 18h00.…”

Trace metals content of atmospheric dusts continue to attract global attention as more anthropogenic activities including urban road construction impacted on the natural metals load of airborne particulates. This study employed analytical procedures to investigate the concentrations of arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, nickel, lead, vanadium, tin and manganese in atmospheric dusts deposition in Katima Mulilo metropolis, Namibia. Replicate samples were collected on five days interval under dry winter conditions from mid-August to mid-October, 2013. Samples were collected from within 40 m radius at selected locations along Katima Mulilo urban road construction and from a quite residential area; 2 km away from the road work. Processed samples were digested by EPA method 3050B followed by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrophometer (ICP: Perkin Elmer Optima 7000 DV) analysis. The results obtained showed that manganese recorded the highest concentration in the dusts deposition collected within the urban road construction (155.67±2.52 mg/kg) and residential area (64.00±2.64 mg/kg) respectively. Tin recorded the lowest concentration with mean levels of 0.60±0.10 mg/kg along the road construction and 0.24±0.07 mg/kg in the residential area. T-test analysis of the variations in concentrations of the trace metals were statistically significant (p < 0.05). However, the levels of the trace metals recorded in this study were lower than their permissible concentrations recommended by Canadian soil quality guidelines for the protection of environment and human health. There is a very strong positive inter-elemental correlations and the metals enrichment factors showed moderate enrichment. These suggested common and input from anthropogenically induced sources respectively. Single element pollution indexes of the metals showed low contaminations but the levels of arsenic, cadmium, nickel and vanadium in the atmospheric dusts deposition could become source of health concern following environmental accumulations and non-biodegradation of the trace metals. Thus, it is recommended that periodic evaluation of the trace metals content of the atmospheric dusts deposition should be sustained to monitor future accumulation.

“…Many trace metals are toxic to humans and ecosystems and their input to surface waters and terrestrial environments need to be quantified (Rojas et al, 1993;Pirrone et al, 1995;Odabasi et al, 2002;Lu et al, 2003;Koçak et al, 2005;Sabin et al, 2006;Tasdemir et al, 2006;de P. Pereira et al, 2007;Sakata et al, 2006Sakata et al, , 2008Al-Momani et al, 2008). Field studies measuring metal dry deposition are limited and the V d s generated from these studies differ from each other significantly (Migon et al, 1997;Sakata and Marumoto, 2004;Tasdemir and Kural, 2005;Wu et al, 2006;Yi et al, 2001Yi et al, , 2006Fang et al, 2004Fang et al, , 2007a.…”

Dry deposition fluxes and deposition velocities of seven trace metal species at five sites in central Taiwan – a summary of surrogate surface measurements and a comparison with model estimations

Abstract. Daily air concentrations and dry deposition fluxes of seven metal species were monitored at five sites in central Taiwan for five or six days every month from September 2009 to August 2010. Annual average concentrations at the five sites were in the range of 2.8 to 3.6 ng m−3 for As, 25 to 82 ng m−3 for Mn, 1900 to 2800 ng m−3 for Fe, 69 to 109 ng m−3 for Zn, 18 to 33 ng m−3 for Cr, 60 to 110 ng m−3 for Cu, and 25 to 40 ng m−3 for Pb. Annual average dry deposition fluxes were on the order of 3, 20, 400, 50, 25, 50, and 50 μg m−2 day−1 for As, Mn, Fe, Zn, Cr, Cu, and Pb, respectively. Annual average dry deposition velocities (Vd) for the seven metal species ranged from 0.18 to 2.22 cm s−1 at these locations. Small seasonal and geographical variations, e.g. from a few percent to a factor of 2 for different species and/or at different locations, were found in the measured concentrations, fluxes, and Vds. The measured fluxes and air concentrations had moderate to good correlations for several of the species at several of the sites (e.g. Fe, Zn, and Mn at most of the sites), but had either weak or no correlations for the other species or at the other sites (e.g. As at Sites I and III, Zn and Cr at Site IV, and Cu at most of the sites). The latter cases were believed to have large uncertainties in the flux measurements using surrogate surfaces. Sensitivity tests were conducted for particle Vds using a size-segregated particle dry deposition model, assuming various combinations of three lognormal size distributions representing fine particles (PM2.5), coarse particles (PM2.5–10), and super-sized particles (PM10+), respectively. It was found that the measured dry deposition fluxes can be reproduced reasonably well using the size-segregated particle dry deposition model if the mass fractions of the metal species in PM2.5, PM2.5–10 and PM10+ were known. Significant correlations between the modeled and the measured daily fluxes were found for those cases that were believed to have small uncertainties in the flux measurements.
