TLDR
Although the health risk levels from exposure to individual metals in dusts were low, the non-carcinogenic risks from multiple metals to local children exceeded the acceptable level (1.0), suggesting that the overall risk from Exposure to multiple metals in Dust is concerning.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Health risk assessment of potentially toxic elements in soils along the Central Elbe River, Germany.
Jörg Rinklebe,Jörg Rinklebe,Vasileios Antoniadis,Sabry M. Shaheen,Sabry M. Shaheen,Sabry M. Shaheen,Oliver Rosche,Manfred Altermann +7 more
TL;DR: Arsenic was found to be the primary contributor to total risk, accounting of 57.4% of HI in all three- person groupings, and the presence of V, a less-expected element, among those of major risk contribution, reveals the necessity of monitoring areas at large scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
A critical prospective analysis of the potential toxicity of trace element regulation limits in soils worldwide: Are they protective concerning health risk assessment? - A review.
Vasileios Antoniadis,Sabry M. Shaheen,Efi Levizou,Muhammad Shahid,Nabeel Khan Niazi,Meththika Vithanage,Yong Sik Ok,Nanthi Bolan,Jörg Rinklebe,Jörg Rinklebe +9 more
TL;DR: This review aimed at collecting TE regulation limits in soils from major countries and organizations around the globe, and critiquing them by assessing potential human health risks in the case of soils attaining the maximum allowable values by calculating human health risk indices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pollution characteristics, sources, and health risk assessment of human exposure to Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb pollution in urban street dust across China between 2009 and 2018.
TL;DR: The health risk assessment indicated that ingestion is the most important pathway of exposure to metal pollution in street dust for both children and adults, followed by dermal contact and inhalation, and the health risks for children were higher than those for adults.

A comprehensive analysis of heavy metals in urban road dust of Xi'an, China: Contamination, source apportionment and spatial distribution.
Huiyun Pan,Xinwei Lu,Kai Lei +2 more
TL;DR: The location of point pollution sources and prevailing wind direction were found to be important factors in the spatial distribution of heavy metals and there was significant enrichment of Pb, Zn, Co, Cu and Cr based on geo-accumulation index value.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil and maize contamination by trace elements and associated health risk assessment in the industrial area of Volos, Greece.
Vasileios Antoniadis,E. E. Golia,Yu-Ting Liu,Shan-Li Wang,Sabry M. Shaheen,Jörg Rinklebe,Jörg Rinklebe +6 more
TL;DR: The findings indicate that this study should be pivotal concerning similar industrially-affected agricultural soils of suspected contamination, since less-expected toxic elements such as Tl here may be primary contributors to health risk.

An ecological risk index for aquatic pollution control.a sedimentological approach
TL;DR: In this article, a sedimentological risk index for toxic substances in limnic systems should at least, account for the following four requirements: the following: the quality of the sediment, the water quality, the sediment quality, and the sediment diversity.

Lead (Pb) isotopic fingerprinting and its applications in lead pollution studies in China: A review
Hefa Cheng,Yuanan Hu +1 more
TL;DR: The history and current status of lead pollution in China is summarized, the power of Pb isotopic fingerprinting is illustrated with examples of its recent applications in investigating the effectiveness of leaded gasoline phase-out on atmospheric lead pollution, and the sources of PB found in various environmental media.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial distribution of polybrominated diphenyl ethers and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans in soil and combusted residue at Guiyu, an electronic waste recycling site in southeast China.
TL;DR: The crude processing of e-waste has become one of the major contributors of PBDEs and PCDD/Fs to the terrestrial environment and acid leaching and open burning emitted the highest concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potentially toxic metal contamination of urban soils and roadside dust in Shanghai, China.
TL;DR: Pb, Zn and Cu mainly originated from traffic contaminants; soil Ni was associated with natural concentration; Cd largely came from point-sourced industrial pollution; and Cr, Ni in dust were mainly related to atmospheric deposition.
