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…

Impacts of urbanization on the distribution of heavy metals in soils along the Huangpu River, the drinking water source for Shanghai

Determination of metal concentrations indicated that Hg, Pb, Zn, and Cu were present in significantly higher concentrations in topsoil than in deep soil layers, and calculation of the potential ecological risk indicated that the integrative risk of these heavy metals in most areas was low, but a few sites surrounding high density of factories showed moderate risks.
