“…Previous studies have also been performed within the industrial park of Grande-Synthe (Cazier et al, 2016;Crenn et al, 2017;Mbengue et al, 2015). Particulate metal content has been extensively studied, due to the importance of steelworks and metallurgy at Grande-Synthe (Alleman et al, 2010;Arndt et al, 2016;Flament et al, 2008;Hleis et al, 2013;Kfoury et al, 2016;Landkocz et al, 2017;Marris et al, 2012;Marris et al, 2013;Mbengue et al, 2014;Mbengue et al, 2017;Santos et al, 2016). A number of elements or elemental ratios have been used as tracers for specific sources within the industrial area, e.g.…”

“…According to the IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) regarding the toxicity of inhalable metals in atmospheric particulate matter, As, Cd, Cr, and Ni are classified Group 1: “Carcinogenic to humans” and Pb is classified Group 2A: “Probably carcinogenic to humans”. Considering these risks and the high concentrations of Cd and Pb, which are likely to be more concentrated in inhalable particles (PM 10 ) relative to coarser ones [31], the serious pollution status of atmospheric particles in the Shijiazhuang urban area is concerning, and effective control measures need to be taken.…”

Understanding variations of heavy metals in atmospheric particles between different functional areas is significant for pollution control and urban planning in cities. To reveal pollution and spatial distribution of heavy metals in atmospheric particles from different urban functional areas in Shijiazhuang in North China, 43 settled dust samples were collected over the main urban area and heavy metal concentrations were determined in their <63 µm fractions using an ICP-OES. The results suggest that Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and V in the dust are not or slightly enriched and their concentrations vary slightly between different sites, implying their natural origins; whereas Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb are often notably enriched and their concentrations vary significantly between different functional areas, indicating their anthropogenic sources. Integrated pollution indexes (IPIs) of the ten heavy metals are 2.7-13.6 (5.7 ± 2.2), suggesting high or very high pollution levels of most dust. Relatively lower IPIs occur mainly in the administration-education area, the commercial area, and other unclassified sites; while peaks occur mainly in the North Railway Station, the northeastern industrial area, and some sites near heavily trafficked areas, implying the significant influence of intensive industrial (including coal combustion) and traffic activities on atmospheric heavy metal accumulation. These results suggest a clear need of mitigating atmospheric heavy metal pollution via controlling emissions of toxic metals (especially Cd and Pb) from industrial and traffic sources in the city.

“…From a comparative analysis of the elements and ratios used as traces for identifying the pollution sources in coastal and industrial areas [4], [5], [13], [16], [17], some of them were selected to examine our data, for example, the influence of the predominant wind (NW) thought the transport of the heaviest particles was reflected in the spatial distribution of both the PM content and in the ratios PM2.5/PM10 and PM 1 /PM 2.5 in Tarragona.…”

In the framework of UltraPAR project (Assessing the Exposure and the Health Effects of Ambient Fine and Ultrafine Particles in areas of intensive industrial activity) the outdoor air quality of 12 schools in Tarragona (Catalonia, Spain) was monitored in winter 2016-2017. High volume air samplers equipped with quartz filters were used for sampling airborne particulate matter equal or smaller than 10, 2.5, and 1 µm (known as PM10, PM2.5, and PM1 respectively). These ambient samples together with some sources samples (harbour, industrial complexes, incinerator and road traffic) were chemically, mineralogically, and isotopically characterized and it is expected to help assessing the contribution of different emission sources. Preliminary results show that the maximum PM concentrations reached 37 µg/m 3 for PM1, 30 µg/m 3 for PM2.5 and 54 µg/m 3 for PM10 while the lead content varies in the range of 10 to 13 ng/m 3. Through XRD and SEM the marine aerosol influence is confirmed in this coastal city. The carbon isotopic signatures of the different PM sizes could be a potential tracer of its origin (mineral vs combustion sources). These findings were also compared with recent and older environmental data from other studies in similar cities or specifically in this zone to explore its consistency and possible temporal variations.
