Urban Geochemistry: A study of the influence of anthropogenic activity on the heavy metal content of soils in traditionally industrial and non-industrial areas of Britain
TL;DR: In this article, heavy metal concentrations have been determined in topsoils in London Borough of Richmond-upon-Thames, a non-industrial, mainly residential area of approximately 56 km 2, and Wolverhampton an industrial city in the West Midlands of 70 km 2.
Variability in urban driving patterns
R Pischinger,E Ericsson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental study was carried out to compare driving patterns between and within different street-types, drivers and traffic conditions, and driving patterns showed very significant differences between street type and driver, and these factors had significant impact on all the parameters employed.

Terrestrial isopods: useful biological indicators of urban metal pollution.
TL;DR: Compared to highly polluted sites around industrial factories and metal smelting works, lead contamination in Innsbruck can be considered as moderately elevated, whereas cadmium contamination is low.
Journal ArticleDOI
An international urban air pollution model for the transportation sector
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used vehicle kilometres of travel (VKT) as a surrogate for vehicular emissions and incorporated these emission rates with simple meteorological forcing into a box model to provide a generalised urban air pollution model for transportation within any city and validated against published data.

Sources of atmospheric hydrocarbons in Sydney: A quantitative determination using a source reconciliation technique
TL;DR: In this paper, the relative strengths of the sources of atmospheric hydrocarbons in Sydney have been determined by a source reconciliation technique, which involved the detailed characterization of the compositions of the major hydrocarbon sources and about 150 determinations of the concentrations of numerous individual hydroCarbons in the air.
Journal ArticleDOI
The development of a driving cycle for fuel consumption and emissions evaluation
TL;DR: In this article, a technique is developed for synthesizing a statistically representative driving cycle for an urban area based on dynamic driving data collected by the chase car technique, which relies on an understanding of the dynamics of urban driving.

The use and abuse of driving cycle research: clarifying the relationship between traffic congestion, energy and emissions
Pwg Newman,Jeffrey Kenworthy +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review research on vehicle driving patterns that began during the 1950s and now includes several internationally accepted driving cycles that reduce urban driving patterns to relationships of speed, fuel consumption, and emissions.
