“…The ecological risk factor, E , and potential ecological risk (PER) for RD from the nine industrial areas of Korea are presented in Figure 3. The decreasing order of potential E for PTEs was as follows: Cd (2573) > Hg (584) > Pb (305) > Cu (139) > As (85) > Zn (45) > Ni (24) > Cr (19). Cd poses a serious potential ecological risk to the environment.…”

“…Particles emitted into the atmosphere from industrial sources and waste incineration can be deposited directly on the top surface of roads and soil, as well as on the leaves of crop plants [15,16]. Therefore, in the past decade, there has been an interest in the quality of ambient air subjected to dry deposition [17][18][19] and in the pollution status of soil and other nature in industrial areas [20,21]. The main sources of ambient pollution in industrial areas are not only coal-based power generation and industrial activities but also traffic activity and resuspension on the road [22].…”

We examined the pollution characteristics of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in road dust (RD) from nine industrial areas in South Korea to assess PTE pollution levels and their environmental risks for devising better strategies for managing RD. The median concentrations (mg/kg) were in the order Zn (1407) > Cr (380) > Cu (276) > Pb (260) > Ni (112) > As (15) > Cd (2) > Hg (0.1). The concentration of PTEs was the highest at the Onsan Industrial Complex, where many smelting facilities are located. Our results show that Onsan, Noksan, Changwon, Ulsan, Pohang, and Shihwa industrial areas are heavily polluted with Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb. The presence of these toxic elements in RD from the impervious layer in industrial areas may have a moderate to severe effect on the health of the biota present in these areas. The potential ecological risk index (Eri) for PTEs was in the decreasing order of Cd > Pb > Hg > Cu > As > Zn > Ni > Cr, indicating that the dominant PTE causing ecological hazards is Cd owing to its high toxicity. Our research suggests the necessity for the urgent introduction of an efficient management strategy to reduce RD, which adds to coastal pollution and affects human health.

“…The steel industry has played an important role in the development of human civilization. Associated with its rapid economic expansion, the iron or steel industry is also one of the most energy-consuming and polluting industries 1 . The surface of elements made from stainless steel material is usually subjected to further treatment such as machining, electropolishing, etc.…”

Electrochemical metal processing is a process that generates harmful pollution. An important goal often disregarded by researchers is not only the achievement of the best possible quality of electropolished surface, but also minimising the load of metal ions in the wastewater generated in the process. The conducted experiments on the electropolishing of stainless steel in laboratory conditions, varied time, temperature and current density conditions, as well as process bath contamination (ranging from 0 to 6% Fe mass) allowed us to develop a multi-factorial mathematical model. This model offers the possibility of being able to select the process parameters recommended for achieving the desired effects. It takes into account such surface quality parameters as roughness and gloss, process duration and current density that determine power consumption, as well as the weight loss of the electropolished element that influence the rate of contamination in processing baths and wastewater. The study presents the composition of a passive film of stainless steel after the electropolishing process at the initial and final stages of the process bath’s exploitation. The results obtained from XPS tests were then correlated with the results of corrosion tests and resistance to pitting corrosion in the environment of 0.1 M NaCl.

“…The size distribution of particulate matter (PM) is a significant PM attribute and has previously been investigated (Linak et al, 2002;Zhang et al, 2012). It is important not only to understand its effects on human health, visibility impairment, climate change, and transformation processes during atmospheric transport, but also to contribute to the source apportionment researches (Racherla and Adams, 2006;Yang et al, 2007;Pan et al, 2013;Zhang et al, 2016;Bari and Kindzierski, 2016;Jia et al, 2018). Emissions from boilers have aroused great concern, as they not only produce gaseous pollutants, for instance, CO, CO2, NOx, and SO2 (Dios et al, 2013;Hussain and Luo, 2019), but also emit PM.…”
