Road dust (RD) is one of the most important sources particles in atmosphere, especially industrial areas and cities. In this special issue, we collected 16 original articles that describe field, experimental, modeling studies related to RD its various size fractions as a key issue understanding relationships between several urban environments identification pollution sources. Articles focus primarily on following main topics: (1) study chemical composition speciation source attribution; (2)...
Concentrations and ratio of dissolved suspended forms metals metalloids (MMs) in snow cover their deposition rates from the atmosphere western part Moscow were studied. Forms MMs separated using a filter with pore diameter 0.45 μm; concentrations measured by ICP-MS ICP-AES methods. Anthropogenic impact caused significant increase dust load (2–7 times), concentration solid particles (2–5 mineralization meltwater (5–18 times) compared to background level. Urban contains Sn, Ti, Bi, Al, W, Fe,...
The article presents the results of latest studies emission and distribution microparticles in environment based on monitoring assessment ecological geochemical state urbanized areas river basins. Scientific bases technologies for analysis atmosphere (aerosols, snow rain), pedosphere (urban soils road dust) terrestrial hydrosphere (dissolved suspended forms chemical elements water mass bottom sediments) have been developed. It is shown that key importance understanding mechanisms pollution...
Abstract. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), particularly benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), are toxic compounds emitted from various anthropogenic sources. Understanding the BaP concentrations, dynamics and decomposition in soil is required to assess critical loads of urban environments. This study first attempt evaluate all major input output components (BaP) balance calculate permissible load on environment different land-use zones Eastern district Moscow. contamination snow cover Moscow was...
Road dust is a composite substance formed due to wear of different components transport infrastructure and motor vehicles. In 2017, 214 road samples were collected in Moscow analyze pH, electrical conductivity (EC), organic carbon (C о rg ) content that controls the ability fix pollutants. The was dominated by sand silt size particles (the share PM 10 varies from 2.3% 39%) had alkaline pH (6.4–8.1), high EC (33–712 μS/cm) C (0.17–6.7%). alkalinized detergents abrasion roadways blown out...
To assess the affinity degree of heavy metals (HMs) to geochemical phases, many indices with several limitations are used. Thus, this study aims develop a new complex index for assessing contamination level and chemical fractions in various solid environmental media. For this, integrated approach using (CAF) is proposed. Comparison CAF %F on literature examples fractionation HMs from soils, bottom sediments, atmospheric PM10, particle size road dust proved less significant role residual...
For the first time, wet deposition and washout rates of soluble forms potentially toxic elements (PTEs) were estimated in rains during spring AeroRadCity experiment Moscow. Rains are an important factor reducing atmospheric pollution with PTEs Due to resuspension contaminated particles road dust urban soils, industrial traffic impact, waste biomass burning, rainwater is highly enriched Sb, Pb, Se, Cd, S, less P, Ba, As, W, Mn, Sn, Na, Co, Ni, Be.
