Heavy metals in street and house dust in Bahrain

Water, Air, & Soil Pollution, 1993
A total of 106 street and household dusts have been sampled throughout Bahrain and analyzed for Pb, Zn, Cd, Ni and Cr using the atomic absorption spectrophotometric method. The sampling sites were divided into seven categories, including the control site.

Seasonal difference and availability of heavy metals in street dust in Beijing

Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part A, 2010
Street dust samples were collected from nine sites with different land uses in the Beijing metropolitan area during three seasons of autumn, winter and spring in 2007 and 2008. Heavy metal concentrations for 21 bulk samples and 105 sieved sub-samples were quantified.

Heavy Metal Accumulation in Street Dust Samples in Sivas

Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, 2003
Heavy metal contents of street dust samples collected from seven sites located in and around urban areas in Sivas city, Turkey, were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry after digestion using a mixture of acids. The results of the analyses were used to determine major sources and magnitude of heavy metal pollution, and were compared with the ...

Perfluorinated surfactants (PFSs) in size-fractionated street dust in Tokyo

Chemosphere, 2008
We investigated perfluorinated surfactants (PFSs) in size-fractionated street dust to identify their occurrence, contributions from traffic, and potential routes of entry into waters. Street dust was collected from residential areas and heavily trafficked areas in Tokyo and sorted into fine (

Heavy-metal contamination and solid-phase fractionation in street dust

Archives of Environmental & Occupational Health, 2016
Fourteen street-dust samples were collected from Hamedan, western Iran. Street-dust samples received different amounts of heavy-metal pollution. The samples were analyzed for total cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), and zinc (Zn), and binding forms of heavy metal were determined in five fractions.

THE ISOLATION OF TETANUS BACILLI FROM STREET DUST

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1937
In reviewing the extensive literature on tetanus, the reader will have forcibly brought home to him the absence of much specific work on the isolation of tetanus bacilli from street dust. As far as could be ascertained, practically no worker has concentrated on this particular phase of the distribution of tetanus spores except Nicolaier 1 in 1884 and ...

Seasonal Variability of Mercury Contents in Street Dust in Brno, Czech Republic

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2014
Environmental contamination by mercury carries serious risks to the biosphere. Urban agglomerations burdened with traffic are characterized by substantial dust levels, including high concentrations of pollutants bound to particulate matter. In this research, the content of particulate mercury in street dust was investigated in relation to the season ...

HEAVY METALS IN STREET DUST IN BURSA, TURKEY

Journal of Trace and Microprobe Techniques, 2001
The trace element contents of street dust samples collected from streets in the Bursa City, Turkey, have been determined by flame-atomic absorption spectrometry after digestion with aqua regia. The mean concentration levels of Pb, Ni, Cd, Zn and Mn were found to be 210, 67, 3.1, 57 and 500 μg/g, respectively.

Determination of metal accumulation in deposited street dusts in Amman, Jordan

Environmental Geochemistry and Health, 2007
Street dust samples (120 in total) were collected under stable weather conditions during the hot, dry season (August and September) of 2004 from six different localities (industrial, heavy traffic, medium traffic, light traffic, low traffic and rural) in greater Amman, the capital of Jordan.

Street Dust: Implications for Stormwater and Air Quality, and Environmental Management Through Street Sweeping

2014
Street dust is composed of particles that arise from motor vehicles (e.g., tire debris, emission-related particulates), local soils, and road pavement (Yeung et al. 2003). These materials are commingled with larger debris, including discarded trash, lawn clippings, fallen leaves and branches, and other detritus (Fig. 1).
