Summary: Urban dust is a significant medium for potential toxic metal pollution impacting human health and urban ecosystems. A study conducted in Nanjing, China, analyzed 374 samples of fugitive dust from various functional areas to determine metal sources and pollution levels. Results indicate that metals mainly from anthropogenic sources contribute to high pollution levels, with residential and cultural districts showing the highest contamination. Factors such as industrial activities, traffic emissions, and soil dust were identified as major sources of metals in urban dust. Health risk assessments suggest noncarcinogenic risks for children in commercial districts due to high levels of lead, while overall carcinogenic risks do not exceed threshold levels.
