“…For non-carcinogenic risk, this study revealed that the ingestion of road dust appeared to be the primary exposure route for toxic metals to both age groups, followed by dermal contact and inhalation, respectively (Table 2). Similar results were also reported in many other scienti c works (Dehghani et al 2017;Rahman et al 2019;Heidari et al 2021;Yesilkanat and Kobya 2021). Both age groups showed the highest ADI ing , ADI inh and ADI dermal for Pb, and lowest ADI ing and ADI inh for As, although the lowest ADI dermal was found for Cd.…”

This study investigates pollution levels, source apportionment, ecological and human health risks associated with toxic metals (Pb, As, Hg, Cr, and Cd) in road dust from the most populated Dhaka city and a connected major highway in Bangladesh. The mean concentration of Pb, Hg, and Cd were 1.3, 29.3, and 13.2 times higher than their corresponding background values with spatially uneven distribution all over the study area. Metal pollution indices, the geoaccumulation index (I geo ), NIPI, PI, indicated extreme contamination at many sites depending on local environmental factors. The potential ecological risk (E i r ) revealed that 84% and 54% of samples showed the extreme ecological risk for Hg and Cd pollution, respectively. On the other hand, the potential ecological risk index (PERI) and nemerow integrated risk index (NIRI) showed that most sampling sites suffered high to extreme ecological risk. Source apportionment using positive matrix factorization (PMF) identi ed coal combustion and gasoline (50.14%), tra c exhaust (35.26%), and industrial and agriculture activity (14.60%) were the main source of toxic metals of the study area. Non-carcinogenic health risk indicated that adults are more vulnerable than children, and hazard index (HI) of Hg for both age groups and Cd for adults were signi cantly higher than the safe level. The carcinogenic risk (CR) levels of toxic metals were acceptable (10 − 6 to 10 − 4 ), although the maximum limit of Cr for children and As for adults was close to the unacceptable limit (10 − 4 ). Continual exposure to toxic metals through road dust might develop lifetime cancer risk in local inhabitants.

“…Road dust is referred to as ne solid particles that are existed in the environments through diverse processes and can accumulate outdoor, especially on cemented roads and hard pavement (Lu et al 2014;Rahman et al 2019). Road dust is accounted as hazardous materials due to its high transportability into environmental mediums and poses a potential threat to public health (Khademi et al 2019;Yesilkanat and Kobya 2021). The dust acts as the sink and source of toxic metals to its corresponding environment (especially soil and air) (Men et al 2020).…”

“…Many large cities in the world are seriously contaminated through toxic metals polluted road dust (Lu et al 2014;Dehghani et al 2017; Wang et al 2020;Yesilkanat and Kobya 2021). Toxic metals are signi cant environmental contaminants that have harmful, concealed, persistent, bioaccumulation and nonbiodegrade nature (Zhang et al 2017;Haque et al 2021b).…”

“…PERI i is the Potential Ecological Risk Index for each sample (i), EF i the monomial potential ecological risk factor, CF i the contamination factor and TF the heavy metal toxicresponse factor for each element [33]. It was initially proposed for sediments but has been extensively applied to dust (e.g., [36]). Reference values of igneous rock types, soil, freshwater, land plants and land animals were as proposed by [37].…”

Dust Characterization and Its Potential Impact during the 2014–2015 Fogo Volcano Eruption (Cape Verde)

et al. 2021

Fogo (Fogo Island) is the youngest and most active volcano of Cape Verde. The last eruption occurred in 2014–2015. Aiming to assess the dust sources that impacted the air quality during the present study period, fresh lava samples were collected, while Saharan dust intrusions and transport were modeled. Rooftop dust was also collected on the island dwellings and a mineralogical and chemical characterization was undertaken. Air quality monitors were used to obtain concentrations of atmospheric particulate matter (PM) and gaseous pollutants. The mineralogical constitution was assessed by XRD and Electron Microprobe. The pseudototal chemical concentration was performed by XRF, ICP-MS and SEM; the latter includes particles morphology. During the study, WRF-CHIMERE results showed the intrusion of desert dust which affected the air quality. Lava was classified as tephritic to basanitic, with high potassium content. The Pollution Load Index for rooftop dust was >1 in all samples, suggesting an enrichment. Higher values were found in dust size fraction <63 µm, with contamination factor pointing to high enrichment of As, Ni and Pb, and very high enrichment of Cd. The non-carcinogenic hazard estimated for children suggested that health problems may arise. The carcinogenic risk was above the target risk, mostly due to As > Pb > Co. Ingestion was the main exposure route. PM10 concentrations exceeded the 24-h mean of 50 µg/m3 recommended by WHO. Nevertheless, TVOCs displayed levels lower than guidelines. The highest levels of CO2 were recorded in more populated villages and farthest from the volcano.
