Journal ArticleDOI
Geochemistry and risk assessment of street dust in Luanda, Angola: A tropical urban environment
TL;DR: A total of 92 samples of street dust were collected in Luanda, Angola, were sieved below 100 μm, and analysed by ICP-MS for 35 elements after an aqua-regia digestion as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk-based evaluation of the exposure of children to trace elements in playgrounds in Madrid (Spain).
TL;DR: Risks associated with the estimates of toxicity values and exposure factors should be reduced before any definite conclusions regarding potential health effects are drawn, risk assessment has proven to be a very useful tool to identify the contaminants and exposure pathways of most concern in urban environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparative study of heavy metal concentration and distribution in deposited street dusts in a large and a small urban area: Birmingham and Coventry, West Midlands, UK
TL;DR: A study of the distribution of heavy metals in street dusts of two cities in Midland England found higher concentrations were located near industrial areas in the northwest of the city and within the ring road, however, lower concentrations were found to the southwest in areas of mainly residential properties and parks.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the distribution of particulate trace elements in urban terrestrial environments and its application to considerations of risk
TL;DR: The evolution, state of the art and future lines of research on the sources, transport pathways, and sinks of particulate trace elements in urban terrestrial environments to include the atmosphere, soils, and street and indoor dusts are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of Heavy Metals in the Street Dusts and Soils of an Industrial City in Northern Spain
TL;DR: The zinc content in the dust samples decreased with the distance from a zinc smelter located in the northern part of the city, and the same trend was found for other elements in association with zinc in the raw materials used by the smelters, such as cadmium and mercury.
