Chemical speciation of lead compounds in street dusts

Environmental Science & Technology, 1980
Research report:Street dust samples from several sites in London, Birmingham, and Lancaster, England, were collected and analyzed. The six lead species found in the various street dust samples are reported. The major cyrstalline lead compound in street dusts was lead sulfate. Formation mechanisms of lead sulfate are suggested.

On Br and Pb in Cairo street dust

Journal of Environmental Science and Health . Part A: Environmental Science and Engineering, 1989
Abstract The mean Br/Pb ratio in Cairo street dust is 0.23 (raw data), or 0.395 (Pb background corrected), resp. It is calculated that 60–70% of the Pb found in city center dust are traffic‐related, the remainder is due to industrial emissions.

Dust on the Streets and Liability for Environmental Cancers

The Modern Law Review, 1997
In Margereson v J. W. Roberts Ltd and Hancock v J. W. Roberts Ltd,' the Court of Appeal was faced for the first time with the task of delineating the liability of a manufacturing company for environmental cancers caused by emissions from their plant. Both plaintiffs2 had lived near the former J.W.

Toxic metals in street and household dusts

Science of The Total Environment, 1979
Street and household dusts have been sampled within the Lancaster area (U.K.), and analysed for Pb, Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Ni and Zn. The concentration of each metal has been determined both as total and extractable metal, the latter referring to metal soluble in a 0.07N hydrochloric acid solution.

Organic lead in street dusts

Journal of Environmental Science and Health . Part A: Environmental Science and Engineering, 1976
Abstract A method for the analysis of organolead compounds in street dusts has been developed and tested. Levels of both organic and total lead in samples of street dust have been measured, and are discussed in relation to possible toxic hazards.

Temporal variability of the elemental composition in urban street dust

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 1991
Urban Street dust is recognized as a source of urban air and runoff degradation. This paper takes a preliminary step toward a better understanding of temporal variability in street dust chemistry and of the controlling mechanisms. Street dust samples, collected over four seasons in the city of Hamilton, Canada, show a variability dependent on element ...

Lead contamination in street dust in Hong Kong

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 1979
Lead levels were generally found to be high in road-side dust samples collected from different sites throughout the Island of Hong Kong during winter 1977-78. Considerable differences in the concentration of lead amongst these sites were detected but such differences bore no direct relationship to the traffic volumes of the sites from which the samples

Solubility and potential toxicity of lead in Urban Street dust

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 1979
The lead content of roadside and playground dust in urban areas is frequently high enough to make a major contribution to the lead intake of children through accidental ingestion of the dust. The question arises as to whether the material presents the potential toxic hazard suggested by its gross lead content.

Trace elements in street and house dusts: sources and speciation

Science of The Total Environment, 1991
The sources and speciation of trace elements in street and house dusts are reviewed. Soil is a major component of both dusts, but a number of elements are enriched in both materials. These include Pb, Zn, Cu, Cd, As, Sb, Cr, Ca, Na, Au, Cl and Br. They arise from a number of contributing and polluting sources.

Elemental monitoring of street dusts in Konya in Turkey

Microchemical Journal, 2019
Abstract In this study, we tried to obtain information about the level of pollution in the region by analyzing the solid residues collected from the roadsides of Konya, which is an industrialized city of Turkey. In the study, solid powder samples were collected from Konya city in September 2014, at 4 different times by the municipal vehicles.
