Resuspension of particulate matter and PAHs from street dust

Atmospheric Environment, 2011
Abstract Winter street sanding activities in northern countries are often associated with elevated pollution by particulate matter. There are indications that street dust may act as a source of particle-bound PAHs. However, very few studies have addressed the resuspension potential of PAHs from street dust.

Lead-in-dust in city streets

Science of The Total Environment, 1977
Lead in street dust has been recognized as a possible risk to city dwellers for several decades. Young children are more likely than adults to ingest dust and they are more susceptible to a given intake of lead. An assessment of the risk from the lead content of street dust was attempted.

Dust Exposure in Mechanical Street Sweepers

American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, 1967
Abstract Measurements in three Alberta cities have shown that drivers of mechanical street sweepers can be exposed to excessive concentrations of silica-bearing dust. The provision of an enclosed cab pressurized with a filtered air supply appears to be the best solution to this situation.

Lead in urban street dust

Nature, 1975
LEAD pollution and its effects on health are matters of general concern1,2. The potential danger to children is now receiving particular attention. Lead in various inorganic forms may be inhaled or ingested, and various sources of ingested lead (for example food, tapwater, paint) are recognised, and tolerable limits have been established.

The elemental composition and sources of house dust and street dust

Science of The Total Environment, 1986
Abstract The elemental compositions of house dust, street dust and soil have been determined for 26 elements on material collected in Christchurch, New Zealand. The elements Hf, Th, Sc, Sm, Ce, La, Mn, Na, K, V, Al and Fe may be considered to be soil-based and contribute about 45–50% to house dust and 87% to street dust.

Organic matter determination for street dust in Delhi

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2012
The organic matter of street dust is considered as one of the causes for high human mortality rate. To understand the association, the street dust samples were collected from four different localities (industrial, residential, residential-commercial, and commercial) situated in the greater Delhi area of India.
