The concentration, characteristics, and probabilistic health risk assessment of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in street dust: a case study of Kashan, Iran

Qasem Moradi et al.

Summary: Exposure to potentially toxic elements (PTEs) via dust inhalation in the streets of Kashan, Iran poses a risk to human health. The study found that residents of Kashan are facing considerable carcinogenic risk due to high concentrations of PTEs in street dust, highlighting the need for control measures to reduce emissions of PTEs.

Potentially toxic elements and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in street dust of Yazd, a central capital city in Iran: contamination level, source identification, and ecological-health risk assessment

Mohammad Javad Nematollahi et al.

Summary: The contamination level, source, and ecological-health risk of PTEs and PAHs in the street dust of Yazd, Iran were investigated for the first time. Traffic-related sources and geogenic factors were found to be major contributors to elevated concentrations of certain elements, posing potential health risks to adults and children.

Heavy metals in urban dusts from Alexandria and Kafr El-Sheikh, Egypt: implications for human health

Waqar Azeem Jadoon et al.

Summary: The study found heavy metal contamination in dust samples from Alexandria and Kafr El-Sheikh cities, with high concentrations observed in areas characterized by anthropogenic activities and heavy traffic. Most metals showed moderate to high contamination levels, posing low to moderate ecological risks and significant health risks, especially for children.

A survey of heavy metal contents of rural and urban roadside dusts: comparisons at low, medium and high traffic sites in Central Scotland

Nicholas Cowan et al.

Summary: The study found that traffic intensity is correlated with the concentrations of Cu, Cr, and Zn in roadside dust, with only Cu and Zn concentrations exceeding recommended guidelines for urban runoff materials, especially in areas of high traffic intensity. This could potentially impact the health of pedestrians and cyclists who are regularly exposed to roadside dust.

A comprehensive exploration of risk assessment and source quantification of potentially toxic elements in road dust: A case study from a large Cu smelter in central China

Han-Zhi Wang et al.

Summary: Large-scale industrial activities emit potentially toxic elements (PTEs) which can have adverse effects on ecosystems and human health, with high contamination levels near smelters. Smelting emissions and transportation activities are the main pollution sources, posing higher non-carcinogenic risks for children. Comprehensive risk assessments can effectively identify key pollutants and sources of pollution.

Heavy metal pollution of street dust in the largest city of Mexico, sources and health risk assessment

Anahi Aguilera et al.

Summary: In large industrialized cities, street dust with heavy metal contamination poses a potential risk to human health, mainly from vehicular traffic emissions. The street dust in Mexico City is mainly contaminated with Pb, Zn, and Cu, with Cr and Pb posing health risks to children. Proposed contamination limits for heavy metals in Mexico City street dust could help decrease anthropic emissions and protect public health.

Magnetic monitoring of topsoil and street dust in Xinyang (China) and their environmental implications

Yan Han et al.

Summary: Magnetic measurement is an effective tool for identifying pollutant sources and diagnosing urban pollution. The study found differences in magnetic characteristics between topsoil and street dust, with both mainly originating from anthropogenic activities. Natural sources played a minor role in background samples.

Spatial characteristics of ecological and health risks of toxic heavy metal pollution from road dust in the Black Sea coast of Turkey

Cafer Mert Yesilkanat et al.

Summary: This study investigated the concentrations of toxic heavy metals in dust samples from the Black Sea coastal road in northern Turkey and evaluated the environmental pollution risk levels. Higher levels of environmental pollution were found in Samsun, Ordu, and Artvin provinces compared to other provinces in the study area, with notable potential ecological risks associated with metals such as Cu, Pb, and Cd. The health risks of toxic heavy metals in road dust for adults and children were found to be within acceptable ranges, with negligible noncarcinogenic health risks and lower cancer risk levels.
