“…Garg et al [83] concluded that about 30% of brake wear was released into the airborne particulate matter and the emission rate ranged from 3.3 to 8.8 mg/km. Extreme enrichment of Sb in road dust, stream sediments, and particulate matter in runoff has been observed in Korea [48,84,85]. The average values of EF for As show that the PM10 [14] (road dust); 9 Logiewa et al, 2020 [16] (road dust at Krakow); 10 Vlasov et al, 2021 [21] (road dust).…”

The pollution status of ten potentially toxic elements (PTEs), isotopic compositions (Cu, Zn, Pb), and the potential ecological risk posed by them were investigated in the PM10 fraction of road dust in Busan Metropolitan city, South Korea. Enrichment factors revealed extremely to strongly polluted levels of Sb, Cd, Zn, Pb, and Cu in the PM10 fraction of road dust, with Sb levels being the highest. Statistical analyses showed that the major cause for contamination with PTEs was non-exhaust traffic emissions such as tire and brake wear. Cu and Zn isotopic compositions of road dust were related to traffic-related emission sources such as brake and tires. Pb isotopic compositions were close to that of road paint, indicating that Pb was a different source from Cu and Zn in this study. No significant health risk was posed by the PTEs. Taking into account the total length of road in Busan, a high quantity of PTEs in road dust (PM10) can have serious deleterious effects on the atmospheric environment and ecosystems. The results of metal concentrations and isotopic compositions in road dust will help identify and manage atmospheric fine particle and coastal metal contamination derived from fine road dust.

“…In general, stream sediments play an important role in geochemical exploration by identifying likely and possible sources of elemental concentration (Nforba et al, 2020). They have been used in many mineral exploration projects in recent years worldwide (Jeong et al, 2021;Rodríguez-Hernández et al, 2021) and particularly in Africa (Salminen et al, 2008;William et al, 2021). Gold, Pt, and Pd have become essential commodities for human life, and are used in the manufacture of a number of consumer products, industrial processes, and modern engineering technologies (Sababa et al, 2015).…”

Stream sediment geochemical data from SW Cameroon were examined as a contribution for surface process study and preliminary exploration of Au, Pd, and Pt. Samples were collected from both active and overbank stream sediments. Samples were analyzed for mineralogy, major and trace elements including rare-earth elements, and Au, Pd, and Pt concentrations. The sediments are mainly made up of quartz, gibbsite, goethite, and kaolinite. Their chemical composition is dominated by SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , and Fe 2 O 3 . They are geochemically classified as Fe-sand and derive from moderate to intense weathered sources which are the local surrounding rocks. Variability in the chemical composition could be attributed to weathering and hydrodynamic sorting of sediments during transport. Trace and rare-earth elements are sparsely present in river sediments in the Eséka area. The high Zr contents could reveal high proportion of zircon as a resistant mineral to weathering. The normalized REE patterns show relative HREE enrichment due to the fact that zircon preferentially incorporates HREE. The variable La/ Sc, La/Co, Th/Sc, Zr/Cr, LREE/HREE ratios, and Eu-anomalies suggest that the stream sediments may have originated from mixed felsic and mafic source contributions. Gold, Pd, and Pt have variable contents with the highest contents in the active stream samples. The active stream sediments are the appropriate tools for geochemical Au surveys in humid forest regions. Despite the low contents in stream sediments, some sampling points are favorable for further Au, Pd, and Pt exploration in their upstream sources. The clayey materials should be favorable for Pd and Pt accumulations.
