Assessment of heavy metal contamination in roadside soils along the Shenyang-Dalian Highway in Liaoning Province China

Heavy metal contaminations were assessed through a detailed soil survey in roadside soils along the Shenyang-Dalian Highway of Liaoning Province, China. Pb, Cu, Cd, Ni, and Zn were analyzed using…

It could be concluded that impaction of traffic emission on the accumulation of heavy metals in roadside soils in urban area was slight and soil properties such as pH and organic matters were critical factors influencing the retention ofheavy metals in soils.

Traffic-Related Heavy Metal Contamination in Urban Areas and Correlation with Traffic Activity in China

In this study, a detailed investigation was conducted to collect the concentrations of heavy metals—including cadmium, copper, nickel, lead and zinc—from five geographic areas to reflect the…

The Effect of Highway on Heavy Metal Accumulation in Soil in Turfy Swamps, Northeastern China

A detailed investigation was conducted to study the effect of highway on the accumulation of heavy metals in soils of turfy swamps. The concentrations of Cr, Zn, Cu, and Cd showed a decreasing trend…

Accumulations of Heavy Metals in Roadside Soils Close to Zhaling, Eling and Nam Co Lakes in the Tibetan Plateau

The results show that accumulations of Cu; Zn and Pb in roadside soils remain an unpolluted level at all sites; however; the Cd indices in the regions with higher traffic volume have reached a strong potential ecological risk level and some spots with peak concentrations have even been severely polluted due to traffic activities.

The Distribution of Trace Metals in Roadside Agricultural Soils, Thailand

The contamination factor demonstrated that the road edge soils were moderately- to highly-polluted with Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn, and the safest distance to minimize metal pollution for agricultural production is proposed to be greater than 10 m away from theRoad edge.

Concentration of Pb, Cu, Zn and Cd in the Roadside Soil of Doha: Effect of Traffic Volume and Season

The concentration of copper (Cu), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) in the roadside soil of Doha was evaluated. Three different roads were selected for the study namely, Mesrif street, Salwa road…

Distribution and Ecological Risk Assessment of Heavy Metals in Roadside Soil along the Hemat Highway of Tehran, Iran

The impact of land use and a distance from the highway on heavy metal concentration in soils along the highway has been investigated. 28 soil samples were collected in August 2014 from the roadside…
