“…Dietl and others (1997) used X-ray spectroscopy to measure antimony concentrations in brake linings, finding a range of 1-4 %. Heinrichs and Brumsack (1997) and Weckwerth (2001) found enrichment factors for Sb in brake-lining components between 2AE10 4 and 10 5 , which are higher than in any other known material. In our study area, an increase in antimony concentration in pine needles with decreasing distance from zones of higher traffic density was found by Alaimo and others (2000).…”

“…This finding is notable as lead in this chemical form is more bioavailable than Pb hosted in the more stable minerals of the soil components. Particles containing Zn, Cu and Sb are also found, probably resulting from the abrasion of tyres and brake linings (Dietl and others 1997;Helmers 1996;Heinrichs and Brumsack 1997).…”

“…Zn is mainly emitted from tires and Cu and Mo from brakelining materials. They are also known to be used as additives to impart special qualities to oils used as lubricants, anti-oxidants and anti-corrosives (Heinrichs and Brumsack 1997;Weckwerth 2001).…”

Inorganic matter from roadway dust collected in the urban area of Palermo, Italy, was analysed to identify the chemical elements introduced into the environment as a result of human activities. Metals of environmental concern exhibit very high enrichment factors, which in some cases exceed 100. Metal size distribution indicates that Pd, Pt, Au, Sb, Zn, S, Ni, V, Mo and Cr substantially accumulate in the finest particles, whereas Pb, Br, As, Cu, Ag and Ba are almost independent of the size fraction. SEM/EDS analyses revealed that some individual particles contain clusters of foreign particles (<10 pm) made up of Fe-Ni, Cr-Ni or Fe alone, typical of the abrasion of stainless steel. Others are aggregates of smaller Pb-Br-Cl particles. Lead isotope composition indicates that Pb pollution is mainly due to automobile exhausts and industrial sources. Pt and Pd concentrations reveal the increasing release of these elements into the environment from catalytic converters. Data indicate that monitoring Total Solid Particles, as generally done by the municipal agencies for the environment, is inadequate from a sanitary point of view, while there is a need for more attention to the presence of trace elements in airborne particulate matter and their distribution as a function of particle size

“…The enrichment factor (EF) is obtained by dividing the element concentration in the earth crust by average concentration of the same element in the sample and computed using the formula of [EFelement X = (X/Ti) sample /(X/Ti) average sample ] (Heinrichs and Brumsack, 1997).…”

In this study, geochemical behavior of elements is investigated in 25 coal samples collected at 10 locations of Şahinli coaliferous units at southeast of Aydın, Turkey. In all the samples, X-ray powder diffraction and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry analyses were performed and element and mineral compositions were determined. Total organic carbon (TOC) values of coals are between 14.6 and 37.7 wt% with average of 28.5 wt%. Samples are composed of quartz, calcite, feldspar, dolomite, mica, gypsum, and salt minerals which are accompanied by illite-, kaolinite-, and smectitetype clay minerals.

“…Heinrichs and Brumsack have shown that 80% of Tl in urban air particulate samples derive from high-temperature combustion and <20% from road traffic. 25 Other well-known point sources are cement works and ore-processing industries, which may locally enhance Tl levels by several orders of magnitude. 26 A similar situation, though with bigger variances, applies for Bi.…”

Epilithic lichen (Xanthoria elegans in Canada, Lecanora muralis in Germany) were gathered from 17 locations in Ontario, Canada (from Lake Ontario to James Bay) and 43 locations in Germany (from the Alps to the North Sea and from the Baltic Sea to the Erzgebirge). Sample aliquots were digested in nitric acid and trace elements were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry techniques. The organohalogens were determined IMPLICATIONSThe results demonstrate that epilithic lichen provide an excellent means to monitor atmospheric deposition over large areas in a fast, simple, cost-effective, and reliable way. This method is fast because lichen specimens can be easily sampled and are abundant in all environmentsprovided that suitable species (i.e., those that are easily determinable and ubiquitous) have been chosen. This method is inexpensive when compared to instrumental methods of measuring atmospheric depositions, which will never be set up in densities comparable to the use of biomonitors. The method is thus very attractive for regions where no high-tech monitoring facilities exist and where large areas will be covered in a short period of time. Finally, the reliability of the method can be shown by comparing the results of this study with those of other types of biomonitoring and direct measurements. This method is expected to extend the spatial resolution and to produce a lichen-based biogeochemical atlas for Germany.as absorbable organic halogens (AOXs) by coulometry. Concentration ranges from Germany for trace element samples and AOXs were determined. The lichen showed high spatial resolution in their element enrichment patterns. This allowed for differentiation between natural and anthropogenic dominance in ambient air concentrations. This biomonitoring method has proven to be very sensitive, fast, and reliable. No clear relationship could be found between trace element and AOX concentrations. The AOX values may reflect individual metabolic rates of the fungal partner in lichen symbionts.
