“…The Zn level mainly originates from cars due to lubricating oils and tires 32 . Due to the high temperature, tire wear can be increased and Zn was also used as a welding agent in tires 33 . The existence of Cu in road dust can be obtained from car engine wear.…”

Introduction: Road dust is a group of solid particles that are presented in the urban areas and are originated from both natural and human-induced sources. This study aims to determine concentrations of heavy metals in urban dusts in Behbahan to identify their natural or anthropogenic sources. Materials and Methods: In this study, a total of 20 samples were collected from main roads with different land uses, including residential, industrial, and commercial areas in Behbahan city, Khuzestan province. Results: The results of mineralogy identification showed that calcite, dolomite, quartz, albite, and gypsum were the most identified minerals in dust samples. In addition, heavy metals of As, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Fe, Ni, Zn, Pb, Sb, U, Cd, Hg, and Mo were investigated in the collected settled road dust. The results indicated that the level of heavy metals, such as Co and Sb in the places with high traffic load were much higher than other areas. The highest Igeo value for Pb, Cu, and Sb were 1.39, 2.19, 2.46, respectively, suggesting that Pb, Cu, and Sb in the road dust were originated from the anthropogenic sources. Moreover, the results demonstrated that road dust may pose serious health threats to humans (both adults and children). Conclusion: In this study, the concentration of heavy metals in road dust of Behbahan was investigated. The concentration of heavy metals, such as Cu, Zn, Ni, As, Cr, Pb, U, and Fe in the road dust of the commercial section were much higher than other sections.

“…At all sampling point coordinates were taken with a hand-held GPS. The samples were collected from the surface of the soil at the depth of 0-10 cm (Fazeli et al, 2009). The soil sampling spots were cleared of debris before sampling [Parizanganeh et al, 2010].…”

This study was performed using Magnetometery susceptibility (MS) and heavy metal analysis on 36 soil samples at the depth of 0–10 cm collected from urban and industrial areas of Semnan, Iran. The magnetic susceptibility of soil samples were measured by MFK1-A Kappabridge and total metal content such as Pb, Cu, Cr, Cd and Zn were determined by ICP set in the lab of Geological survey and mineral exploration of Iran. The results showed the maximum Magnetic Susceptibility of 317.3 *10− 8 m3/kg which measured in the east of Semnan city. Furthermore, high magnetic susceptibility were obtained on samples from north, East and industrial area of Semnan city (average 285.4*10− 8, 275.6*10− 8 and 261.7*10− 8 m3/kg, respectively) whereas lower susceptibility values were observed in the West area of Semnan city (average 66.1*10− 8,). Heavy metals such as As, Co, Cr, Mn and Zn show a highly significant correlation with magnetic susceptibility. Cd, Cr, Pb and Zn through investigated heavy metals, showed the higher concentrations than pollution threshold values.
