| Contents Notes |
Collected wet and dry atmospheric deposition samples in an urban area, with the intent of focusing on transportation sources of pollutants. Measured particle size distribution (greater than or less than 2.5 microns in diameter) and chemical composition. Using component separation, estimated relative contributions from various sources, including brakes. Found that copper, antimony, and cadmium concentrations were the most enriched as compared to background soil concentrations. Linked copper and antimony concentrations to vehicle brakes, partly due to the consistent ratio of the concentrations of the two metals in deposition samples. Another copper source evaluated in the study was overhead electrical cables for trams (which were found to be a relatively small source). |
