“…PM 10 , NO 2 , copper, cadmium, nickel, and palladium) may have a common origin in urbanized areas: road traffic emissions. While NO 2 is primarily released into the air by the combustion engines of motor vehicles, metals can account for a large proportion of PMs in urban areas because particulate emissions near roads are also due to the wear of brakes, tires, other vehicle components and the road surface, as well as exhaust emissions (Jandacka et al, 2017). In the present study, these indicators were strongly correlated with SEnv, the highest values of which were observed close to main roads.…”

Geographical variations in cardiovascular disease rates have been linked to individual air pollutants. Investigating the relation between cardiovascular disease and exposure to a complex mixture of air pollutants requires holistic approaches. We assessed the relationship between exposure to multiple air pollutants and the incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) in a general population sample. We collected data in the Lille MONICA registry (2008-2011) on 3268 incident cases (age range: 35-74). Based on 20 indicators, we derived a composite environmental score (SEnv) for cumulative exposure to air pollution. Poisson regression models were used to analyse associations between CHD rates on one hand and SEnv and each single indicator on the other (considered in tertiles, where T3 is the most contaminated). We adjusted models for age, sex, area-level social deprivation, and neighbourhood spatial structure. The incidence of CHD was a spatially heterogeneous (p=0.006). There was a significant positive association between SEnv and CHD incidence (trend p=0.0151). The relative risks [95%CI] of CHD were 1.08 [0.98-1.18] and 1.16 [1.04-1.29] for the 2nd and 3rd tertile of SEnv exposure. In the single pollutant analysis, PM 10 , NO 2 , cadmium, copper, nickel, and palladium were significantly associated with CHD rates. Multiple air pollution was associated with an increased risk of CHD. Single pollutants reflecting road traffic pollution were the most strongly associated with CHD. Our present results are consistent with the literature data on the impact of road traffic on the CHD risk in urban areas.

“…There are many publications on the occurrence and speciation of heavy metals, including chromium [2][3][4][5][6][7]. There has been an increasing interest in seasonal variations in the concentration of heavy metals in atmospheric aerosol and its probable effect on the estimation of inhalation hazard for city dwellers [11-18, 21, 24].…”

Abstract. This paper presents seasonal variations in the occurrence of chromium in urban particulate matter (PM). Radom is an interesting area for this type of research due to its typical antiquated heating infrastructure. PM samples of two particulate fractions PM2.5 (particulates ≤ 2.5 μm) and PM10 (particulates ≤ 10 μm) were collected using a Copley cascade impactor Hi-Flow MOUDI Model 130. Chromium was determined in the samples using the GF-AAS technique. The concentration of chromium in PM2.5 was in the range of 0.38 to 3.2 ng/m 3 , whereas in PM10 it ranged from 0.43 to 4.1 ng/m 3 .
