“…While Pb showed very weak positive correlations with Cu, Cr, Ni and Zn varying from 0.146 to 0.433, a moderate correlation (0.660) was found between Pb and Cd thereby indicating that the source for Pb may be industrial activities apart from the vehicular emissions (Rajaram et al, 2014). Zn showed poor correlation with all other metals except Cu (0.438), which may be due to the influence of traffic activities in these areas (Arslan, 2001;Gray et al, 2003).…”

“…Although several studies on metal pollution in road dust have been carried out in developed countries (de Miguel et al, 1997;Arslan, 2001;Rasmussen et al, 2001;Charlesworth et al, 2003;Sezgin et al, 2003;Tokalioglu and Karta, 2006;Shi et al, 2008;Amato et al, 2009), very little information is available on this topic in developing countries. Only few studies on quantification and distribution of metals in road dust have been conducted recently in Indian cities (Chatterjee and Banerjee, 1999;Banerjee, 2003;Rawat et al, 2009;Rajaram et al, 2014).…”

RESUMENLa contaminación del aire es considerada como uno de los mayores desafíos ambientales debido a sus efectos sobre los ecosistemas y la salud humana. En este estudio se investigan los niveles de concentración y las fuentes de la contaminación por metales pesados en muestras de polvo de caminos recolectadas en varios sitios que incluyen áreas con cuatro actividades diferentes en Delhi, India: industriales, carreteras, residenciales y de uso mixto. El contenido de metales en polvo de caminos se analizó mediante espectroscopia de emisión atómica por plasma de acoplamiento inductivo. Los resultados muestran altos niveles de concentración de Ni, Cr y Pb en áreas industriales. Los coeficientes de correlación de Pearson acoplados con análisis de componentes principales revelaron que el CD, el Cr, el Ni y el Pb están vinculados con fuentes industriales en tanto que el Zn y el Cu proceden principalmente del tráfico vehicular. La contaminación en polvo de caminos se valoró a través de varios métodos: grado de contaminación, índice ecológico e índice de contaminación. El análisis de los factores de contaminación reveló que las muestras de polvo de caminos estaban contaminadas de manera considerable con Zn y Pb. Los índices de potencial ecológico indicaron la presencia de contaminación significativa por Cd y moderada por Pb en el polvo de camino, en tanto que la contaminación por Cr, Cu, Ni y Zn fue baja. El índice de contaminación de la mayoría de los metales fue mayor a 1, lo cual revela un deterioro en la calidad del polvo de caminos en Delhi a causa de las emisiones antrópicas. El grado de contaminación, el índice de potencia ecológico y el índice integrado de contaminación indican que el polvo de caminos en áreas industriales, de carreteras y de uso mixto exhiben alta contaminación por metales pesados. El polvo del camino también está contaminado de manera significativa. Evaluaciones realizadas por diversos métodos indicaron que todas las técnicas son importantes para valorar la calidad ambiental. ABSTRACTAir pollution has been considered one of the major environmental challenges because of its effect on ecosystems and human health. The concentration levels and sources of heavy metals contamination were studied in road dust samples collected from various locations including four different activity areas: industrial, highways, residential and mixed use in Delhi, India. Metal content in road dust was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. The results showed high concentration levels of Ni, Cr and Pb in industrial areas. Pearson's correlations coupled with principal component analysis revealed that Cd, Cr, Ni and Pb are associated with industrial sources whereas Zn and Cu are mainly contributed by vehicular traffic. Road dust contamination was assessed by various methods: degree of contamination, potential ecological index and pollution index. Contamination factor analysis showed that road dust samples are significantly contaminated by Zn and Pb. The potential ecological indices indicate...

“…Adachi and Tainosho (2004) have characterize the street dusts to investigate Zn as tire dust indicator in Japan using reference work done in the field of chemical apportionment of road-traffic settleable dusts earlier (Smolders and Rogge et al, 1993;Davis et al, 2001;Degryse, 2002). Atmospheric deposition of vanadium, lead, chromium, copper, zinc and nickel has been described earlier (Barceloux, 1999;Arslan, 2001;Dundar and Altundag, 2002;Dundar and Pala, 2003;Dundar and Turkoglu et al, 2003;Tuzen, 2003;Deryaoglu, 2005;Dundar, 2006). Large size particles of dusts fallout in urban regions has been reported to be the major cause of prevalence of asthma (occur at upper nasal area) compared to association of fine particulates with inner respiratory disorders (Wieringa et al, 1997;Sax and Richard, 1984;Roosli, 2000;USEPA, 2003).…”

The components and quantities of atmospheric dusts fallout has been reported to be the pollution indicator of large urban areas. The multiplicity and complexity of sources of atmospheric dusts in urban regions (e.g. industrial complexes composed of a variety of industrial processes, automobiles, construction activities etc.) has put forward the need of source apportionment of these sources indicating their contribution to specific environmental receptor. The study presented here is focused on investigation of source contribution estimates of dusts fallout in an urban-industrial area, Raipur, India. Six sampling sites have been identified on the basis of land use for development plan of anthropogenic activities and factors related to the transportation and dispersion pattern of atmospheric dusts. 12 samples of dusts fallout has been collected from each site (one in each month) and subjected to chemical analysis of selected chemical constituents known as markers of selected major dust emitting sources(Steel making average, Road traffic-borne dusts, construction activities, municipal waste burning, and soils). Chemical profiles alongwith SPECIATE of USEPA has been used for the preparation of source profiles. Source apportionment has been done using Chemical Mass Balance (CMB 8). Good fit parameters and relative source contribution has been analyzed and documented. Variations in source contribution estimates of selected indicator species has been occurred and justify the significant contribution of local area and line sources of dusts emission in various parts of the study region. Coal-fired steel making industries have shown dominating contribution compared to other sources.

“…These are especially true for Zn, Pb and Cu, which are 2.36, 2.43 and 1.69 times the background values of Chinese soil, respectively.The maximums of Mn, Zn, Cr, Pb, Cu and Ni have been found in the sample from heavy traffic site, such as nursery schools, primary schools, secondary schools, housing estates and city center apartments blocks and bus stops, while their minimums were detected in dust sample from bus stations of the city edge, such as residential site with less traffic density. The source of Ni, Pb and Zn in bus station dusts was indicated by research as tyre abrasion, the corrosion of metallic parts of cars, lubricants and industrial and incinerator emissions (Al-Khashman 2004;Arslan 2001;Jiries et al 2001;Lu et al 2010;2014a and b). The values of the mean concentration of heavy metals in dust from bus stations of Xifeng divided by the corresponding background values of Chinese soil decrease in the order Mn>Zn>Cr>Pb>Cu>Ni.…”

Abstract:The objective of this study was to investigate the concentration and spatial distribution patterns of six potentially toxic heavy metal elements (Mn, Zn, Cr, Pb, Cu and Ni) in bus station dusts in the Xifeng district of Gansu province, NW China. The contents were analyzed for Mn, Zn, Cr, Pb, Cu and Ni by using S8 TIGER Brochures wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. Geoaccumulation index (I geo ), enrichment factor (EF), pollution index (PI) and integrated pollution index(IPI) were calculated to evaluate the heavy metal contamination level of bus station dusts
