“…This PM mainly consists of carbonaceous fractions (organic and elemental carbons), water-soluble ions, and heavy metals . The heavy metal composition in PM is an important concern for human health. , Some of the PM-bound elements such as Cr(VI), Co, Ni, Cd, As, and Pb are known carcinogens. , PM’s adverse health impact is very intricate, so detailed knowledge on its source, distribution, and composition is essential.…”

Atmospheric particulate matter (PM10), one of the criteria air pollutants, significantly impacts human health and the climate. To enhance our fundamental understanding of atmospheric PM10 characteristics, rare-earth elements (REEs) and heavy metals were evaluated along with their source apportionment using the positive matrix factorization (PMF) model. The PM10 mass concentration and elemental (REEs and heavy metals) compositions were analyzed using the gravimetric and HR-ICPMS methods. Although the PM10 concentrations are close to the CPCB limit, with an average of 72.09 ± 24.74 μg m–3, the concentrations of heavy metals are below the critical levels prescribed by World Health Organization (WHO). The rare earth elements (REEs) are found in trace quantities in PM10 with a total concentration (ΣREE) of 0.97 ± 0.59 ng m–3. PMF modeling for source apportionment reveals the contributions of five significant sources of PM10 mass in the urban area, mainly from coal combustion and vehicular emission followed by biomass burning, soil dust, and industrial emission. The paper reports the presence of valuable REEs in Indian atmospheric particulate samples for the first time.

“…Significant variations in the seasonal concentration of trace elements were also found among all the sites of the study area. The pattern for the observed trace element concentration was winter > summer > postmonsoon (Dubey et al, 2012; Jena et al, 2019; Mondal et al, 2020).…”

Jharia Coalfield (JCF) has been affected by coalmine fire and subsidence problems for several years. The emission of particulate pollutants is due to the history of unscientific and unregulated coal mining in the JCF area. In the present study (conducted in the year 2019), seasonal variations, possible causes, and human health hazards of particulate matter (PM10)‐bound trace metals like Cd, Cu, Fe, Cr, Ni, Mn, Co, Pb, Zn, and As were estimated. The mean concentration of PM10 (418 ± 67 µg/m3) exceeded the limit of NAAQS (National Ambient Air Quality Standards India, 2009) by a factor of 4.18. PM10‐bound trace metal concentrations were found in the order of Fe > Mn > Cu > Zn > Cr > Pb > Co > Ni > Cd > As. The maximum trace metal concentrations of all the metals studied were observed at the mining areas of JCF affected by coalmine fire. Human health carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic risks in children and adults were estimated through exposure pathways, ingestion, dermal contact, and inhalation. The cancer risk was evaluated as excess cancer risk (ECR). Noncancer risk estimates were evaluated as the hazard index (HI) and the hazard quotient (HQ). The HI and HQ values for Cr, Cu, Cd, As, and Pb at coalmine‐fire‐affected areas were observed to be higher than the value of safe dose (≤1), showing a possible noncarcinogenic risk to the inhabitants as a result of multielemental toxicity. The ECR values (>10−6) in JCF areas suggested a carcinogenic risk to the populace of the area, owing to inhalation of PM10‐linked Cd. Active mine fire (related to mining activities), higher transportation load, and resuspended particulate matter from road transportation were identified as the possible causes of the estimated risks based on principal component analysis and Pearson correlation analyses.

“…Mg, Al, and Fe, on the other hand, seem to be higher than their reported concentrations. These are important factors because, it highlights the contribution of pathogenicity to also be dependent on PM composition, which, in turn contribute to the solubility and reactive oxidation species (ROS) production that may contribute to human health hazards (S. Jena, & Singh, G. , 2017;S. Jena, Perwez, & Singh, 2019;Spurny, 1998).…”

for the guidance, advice, patience, and overall continued support of my studies as well as giving me the extra push. I would also like to acknowledge Dr. Akshay Sood for his excitement and the work being done and his continued helpful insights. I would also like to acknowledge Dr. Tione Buranda, for his directional support. It has been an honor to have such a trio of a committee, all of whom are brilliant and continue to push me outside of my comfort zone. I would also like to formerly acknowledge the community members of Blue Gap Tachee, AZ. Specifically, I would like to thank Chris Nez, Aaron Yazzie, and Sadie Bill for their enthusiasm and support of us while in Blue Gap. Sadie, thank you for the use of your cabin to house and shelter us from the unforgiving rez winter. Thank you, also for the great conversations, and being patient with what Navajo I could speak. Special acknowledgements also go to all the Campen Lab members (past and present) who took me in as their own and have been supportive of my goals and made the Lab another home for me. I also acknowledge UNM and the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program for selecting me and providing further guidance. I also acknowledge the support from NIH and from Dr. Campen's grant (NIEHS ES026673), as well as any additional financial support that was provided from the
