Metal contents and Pb isotopes in road-side dust and sediment of Japan

Method Development and Surface Utilization: Monitoring Environment in Urban Society Through Analytical Chemistry

“…The investigations on airborne and air quality due to heavy metals pollution were also considered (Wijaya et al, 2012;Sitaras & Siskos, 2008;Chung et al, 2006;Liu et al, 2011;Chung et al, 2008). Other type of investigations refer to the wet environment, including sewage and waste water and river sediments (Wijaya et al, 2012). (2007) There is also a tendency to entangle the discussion in chemistry and biology or at a microbiology level.…”

“…Pollution is also described as side effect of living activities to the nature, and this can be one important probe to inform the condition of environment, as a whole. Some elemental analysis can also be used as a good probe to enable risk management system (Ali & Khan, 2016;Wijaya et al, 2012). In this case, green chemistry is discussed everywhere in the world and becomes important in the future including the urban design environment, including in urban society, in which more materials are created and integrated to the scheme of maintaining the natural balance..…”

Metal Contents and Pb Isotopes in the Surface Seawater of the Gulf of Prigi, Indonesia: Detection of Anthropogenic and Natural Sources

“…Some researchers investigated the metal contents, stable isotopes and their geochemical fractions of sediment in the river adjacent sea for monitoring seawater pollution. [1][2][3][4][5][6] The status of seawater can be monitored using their level of metal contents in water, sediment, seaweed, coral reefs and then identified to investigate their source of metal contents using stable isotopes analysis, such as δ 11 B, δ 18 O, δ 13 C, δ 15 N and Pb isotope ratios ( 208 Pb / 206 Pb vs. 207 Pb / 206 Pb). The contaminant of [F -] in seawater is reflected by the F / Ca in non-symbiotic corals (Flabellum sp.).…”

“…80%), provided the important information on the global geochemical cycle and metals mobility. The fractionations of 11 B released the dominant boron species of B(OH) 3 and B(OH) 4 incorporating into marine carbonates (corals) which reflected the history of seawater records and level of pH associated with the coral growth. The pattern of two cyclic changes in δ 18 O and δ 13 C in coral aragonite indicates an annual change in seawater salinity.…”

“…The use of Pb isotope ratios have been studied in many sites for tracking the origin of contamination in plants, mammals, river sediment and ocean water. 4,5,10 The growth curves of the Pb isotopes have been applied in many cases to address Pb pollution. 9 The growth curve can be expressed using the ratios 208 Pb / 206 Pb against 207 Pb / 206 Pb, or 206 Pb / 207 Pb.…”
