“…The heavy metals that most commonly reported in road dust is Pb followed closely by Cu, Cr, Zn, and Cd. The average Pb concentration of road dust in this study (134 ± 78.8 ppm) was less than the average values reported in 11 of the 14 studies (range: 31.8-2,583 ppm) conducted globally (Supplementary Table S5; Hopke and Natusch, 1980;Fergusson and Ryan, 1984;Stone and Marsalek, 1996;De Miguel et al, 1997;Tong, 1998;Ferreira-Baptista and De Miguel, 2005;Yongming et al, 2006;Shi et al, 2008;Zhang and Wang, 2009;Lu et al, 2010;Apeagyei et al, 2011;Quiñonez-Plaza et al, 2017;Howard et al, 2019). Studies reporting much higher levels of Pb are >20 years old data which represent studies in road dusts that may have been derived from the use of leaded gasoline.…”

Inhalation and/or ingestion of toxic heavy metals enriched in road dust have toxic effects on humans. From inhalation and ingestion of dust, release of readily bioavailable elements sorbed on to dust, could lead to health issues such as lung or skin cancer, kidney dysfunction, hypertension, dermal lesions, peripheral neuropathy, and vascular disease. On 49 road dust and soil samples collected in the Metro Detroit area, we analyzed a suite of trace metals in <63 μm and size-separated fractions to quantify the extent of metal enrichment and contamination status. We evaluated Enrichment Factor (EF), Pollution Index (PI), Geoaccumulation Index (GI), and Pollution Load Index (PLI). The average Chromium (Cr) concentration of 198 ppm is the highest reported for any global city in literature while in ∼80% samples, Barium (Ba), Cr, Lead (Pb), and Zinc (Zn) concentrations exceeded the USEPA limit. The EF for Barium (Ba) was found to be ≥9 in all samples, and for the rest of other elements was >1.5. The PI values for Cr, Ba, Zinc (Zn), Lead (Pb), and Selenium (Se) indicate elevated levels and for Ba, Cr, and Zn up to a moderate level. PLI values in >50% of road dusts were ≥3, indicating many sites are ‘heavily polluted’. The PLI value in Detroit road dust is higher than those reported for some other global cities including Shanghai. Observed strong correlations between Cr-Zn and Cadmium (Cd)-Silver (Ag) likely indicate a common metal source. Cluster analysis of data for Cd, Arsenic (As), Pb, and Zn appears to be distinct between different proximally related clusters, while Nickel (Ni) and Ba are potentially more distinct between property type clusters. In general, metal concentrations of industrial samples are more commonly distinct with over half of metals (≥6 of 11) differing from residential and/or soil samples. Three generalized “groups” were identified from the combination of hierarchical cluster and PCA analyses followed by varimax rotation: Group 1 characterized by Cr, Cd, Ni, Ag, Zn, and Copper (Cu); Group 2 characterized by Pb, As, Mercury (Hg), and minor Ba; and Group 3 characterized by Se. This is the first study to report all four metrics of metal pollution along with rigorous statistical analysis.

“…Contamination of heavy metal is becoming more common in the world because of the economic and population development. Numerous studies indicate ranges the concentrations of heavy metal observed in urban soil and USDS in particles consisting of leaves, debris, and organic and inorganic materials [1,13,45]. The concentration of heavy metal Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni and Cd in urban soil and USDS are shown in Table 4 and Figure 3.…”

“…Urban sediments are leaves, debris, and organic and inorganic materials present in the urban environment [1]. Urban sediments occur from natural sources; soil and rock weathering and atmospheric deposition [2][3][4][5][6][7], as well as anthropogenic sources; these include emissions from agriculture, municipal levels, road traffic, industrial and residential areas, and domestic emissions [8][9][10][11].…”

Urban soil and urban surface deposited sediments (USDS) are a large basin for receiving heavy metal contaminants from natural resources and anthropogenic activities. The present study is a review carried out the previous studies determine metal impacts in the urban environment on potential health hazards. The environmental risk index (E r) values follow a trend for different urban soils and USDS: the high E r value in the period 1980-1990 in urban areas is due to Cd 7200, followed by Pb 662, Cu 42, Zn 23, and Ni 6. The health risk assessment varied with the type of heavy metal, the time of year, the level of contamination, environmental pollution, and the human age. No significant risk was identified for adults and children in different urban areas.

“…Como se observa en la Tabla Por otro lado, se reportó al sector comercial con elevada actividad automotriz y circulación de tráfico mixto como aquel de mayor concentración de Pb en el SV. Adicionalmente, se reportaron a las vías de alto flujo vehicular (i.e., autopistas y vías principales) como el segundo sector de mayor concentración de Zn y Cr, lo cual insinúo una posible asociación con la densidad de tráfico (> 5 000 veh./día), el estado de las vías (pavimentadas y sin pavimentar), el desgaste de la pintura vial, el derrame de aceite y combustible, y el desgaste de llantas y frenos [32], [33], [44].…”

El objetivo principal de este artículo es analizar las tendencias a nivel mundial en el uso de métodos para evaluar la contaminación por metales pesados (MP) asociados con el sedimento vial (SV) urbano. Se realizó una revisión sistemática de literatura entre los años 1995-2018. Se empleó un índice de frecuencia de citación con el fin de establecer un orden de importancia para las categorías detectadas. Los resultados muestran el siguiente ordende importancia para las categorías detectadas: enriquecimiento metálico (87,0%) > riesgo sobre la salud (55,8%) > riesgo ambiental (35,1%). Los métodos de preferencia mundial para cada una de las categorías son el índice de geo-acumulación (55,8%), cociente de riesgo no cancerígeno (50,6%) e índice de riesgo ecológico (31,2%), respectivamente. Estas preferencias están posiblemente condicionadas por la existencia local de información de concentraciones de fondo de MP, dosis diarias de inhalación de partículas vinculadas a SV, factores de toxicidad por ingesta/contacto dérmico con MP, y factores de emisión de partículas de SV. Los MP de mayor relevancia son Pb (97,4%), Cu (93,5%) y Zn (89,6%). No obstante, también se destacan Cr-Cd-As por su elevado riesgo ecológico y cancerígeno.
