Road dust-driven elemental distribution in megacity Dhaka, Bangladesh: environmental, ecological, and human health risks assessment

Tapos Kormoker et al.

Summary: This manuscript reports a comprehensive evaluation of metal(oid) levels in road dust of a megacity in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Different evaluation approaches including statistical analysis, GIS mapping, and environmental risk indices were implemented, revealing the distribution patterns and sources of pollutants. The study suggests potential health risks from exposure to road dust due to high concentrations of certain metal(oid)s, with some exceeding standard guideline values for carcinogenic risks.

Source apportionment and health risk assessment for potentially toxic elements in size-fractionated road dust in Busan Metropolitan City, Korea

Hyeryeong Jeong et al.

Summary: The pollution level of potentially toxic elements in road dust in Busan Metropolitan City was investigated, and the health risks to humans were evaluated. The study found that the concentrations of these elements were higher in fine particles and most likely came from non-exhaust traffic-related sources. Certain metals posed higher health risks for both adults and children, especially at sampling sites with heavy traffic and industries. Continuous monitoring and management of these metals are necessary to protect human health and the urban environment.

Metal contamination in soils and windowsill dusts: implication of multiple sources on dust metal accumulation within a city affected by Pb smelting

Weiqin Xing et al.

Summary: This study investigated the accumulation of Pb, Cd, Cu, and Zn in soils and windowsill dust fractions, as well as soil pollution indices, in a long-term Pb smelter area and the nearby urban city of Jiyuan, China. The results showed higher concentrations of these metals in the smelter area compared to the urban area. Lead and Cd had greater soil pollution indices, while excessive Zn concentrations were found in some urban dust samples. The study also identified the sources of metal contamination using principal component analysis.

Sources, toxicity potential, and human health risk assessment of heavy metals-laden soil and dust of urban and suburban areas as affected by industrial and mining activities

Hamed A. Al-Swadi et al.

Summary: This study reported the sources and levels of heavy metals (HMs) in soil and dust samples from urban and suburban areas in Riyadh (industrial city) and Mahad AD'Dahab (mining area) cities in Saudi Arabia. The pollution extent and associated ecological and human health risks were explored. The contamination levels of HMs were higher in dust samples compared to soil samples, with the dust samples from the urban area of Mahad AD'Dahab having a very high risk. The results showed that some HMs had mainly lithogenic occurrence, while others were affected by industrial and mining activities.

Estimation of Ecological and Human Health Risks Posed by Heavy Metals in Street Dust of Madrid City (Spain)

Maria Jose Delgado-Iniesta et al.

Summary: This study conducted sampling and analysis of street dust in the urban area of Madrid, finding high concentrations of total heavy metals, particularly lead, zinc, and cadmium, which exceeded environmental standards. Traffic density was the main factor influencing pollution indices, while the color of street dust had no significant impact on pollution levels. Ingestion was the main route of exposure to heavy metals in street dust, with slightly different levels of risk between adults and children.

Concentrations, sources and ecological-health risks of potentially toxic elements in finer road dust from a megacity in north China

Ling Zuo et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the pollution levels and ecological-health risks of nine potentially toxic elements in finer road dust collected from Shijiazhuang, China. The results revealed that certain elements had significantly higher concentrations than the local soil background values and that the comprehensive ecological risks were very high in most sites. The pollution source analysis showed that coal-related industrial discharges and traffic emissions were important anthropogenic sources.

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.

Concentration of heavy metals in street dust: an implication of using different geochemical background data in estimating the level of heavy metal pollution

Sylwia Dytlow et al.

Summary: This study in Warsaw, Poland used different geochemical backgrounds to establish the level of heavy metal pollution in street dust, demonstrating that the choice of background values significantly impacts the assessment of pollution levels. The study found that indicators calculated based on various backgrounds can affect the detection of pollution sources and provide a more realistic reflection of pollution levels.

Summary: The study evaluated the contamination levels of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in surface soils from Arak city, indicating that the main sources of PTEs are anthropogenic and geogenic inputs, particularly from industrial emissions and vehicle exhaust. The findings suggest that residents, especially children, are at risk of carcinogenic effects due to the high levels of PTEs in the soil.

Summary: The study found that contamination of vanadium and chromium in the vanadium/steel plant (VsA) and cadmium, lead, and zinc in the iron-ore smelting (IsA) were significantly higher relative to other functional areas. The contaminated heavy metals in the soil and dust mainly came from smelting and manufacturing vanadium/steel products, coal combustion and traffic.

Pollution effect assessment of industrial activities on potentially toxic metal distribution in windowsill dust and surface soil in central China

Qiao Han et al.

Summary: The study identified serious Cd and As pollution as a result of industrial activities in Anyang, China, with concentrations exceeding background values in windowsill dust and surface soil. Industrial production and traffic emissions were found to influence the concentration of PTMs in windowsill dust and surface soil, posing larger non-carcinogenic risks for children. This suggests that industrial activities have caused significant harm to residents in the area.

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.
