Contents Notes
Looked at rhodium, platinum, and palladium content of soils from U.S. roadsides. These three elements are dispersed from automobile catalytic converters. Concentrations of all three elements near roadsides were well above background (approaching concentrations that would be economically viable to recover). Concentrations correlated with concentrations of traffic-related elements in soils (including copper). Platinum was observed at statistically significantly higher concentrations than background levels more than 50 meters from a roadside.
