Abstract:Samples of road dust from petrol stations (n= 20) located in Rzeszów (Podkarpackie, Poland) were analyzed for the finding of potential markers of traffic-related pollution. Level (μg/g) of Mo, U, As, Hg, Th, Pb, Ni, Cu, Cr, Be, Sr, Zr, Zn, Mn, and Fe was measured using field portable X-ray spectroscopy (FP-XRF) as ‘white analytical technique’. Our research demonstrated for the first time the utility of using PF-XRF for environmental toxicological assessment of road dust at petrol stations. The qualitative and … Show more
