“…Few studies have examined the distribution of Pb within the first 8 m from the road where it is primarily located. Deroanne-Bauvin et al (1987) reported on ten years of Pb deposition monitoring near highways. Surface soil samples every 5 m along a highway at distances of 0-40 m from the road edge found that Pb in the soil was primarily within the first 5 m; the concentration decreased almost to the background level at 10 m. Recently, Oztas and Ata (2002) studied the relationship between Pb accumulation in soils and the distance from the road edge, and defined vertical and horizontal distribution patterns of Pb accumulation.…”

Although lead (Pb) emissions have dropped drastically with the phase-out of tetra-ethyl lead (TEL) as a fuel additive, Pb deposited along highway corridors continues to be of concern because of its toxicity. This paper provides comprehensive data on the extent and distribution of Pb in roadside soils, Pb interaction with soils as a function of soil composition, the retention capacity of soil based on batch adsorption tests, the retention mechanism of Pb using selective sequential extraction, the potential for mobility using batch desorption tests with simulated rain and winter road salt, and column leach tests. Highway soils on high-traffic sections near Burnaby, Canada were found to have Pb accumulations up to 1628 mg/kg soil. Contamination was mainly in the top 0.3 m, with concentrations rapidly decreasing to the background level at a depth of 0.6 m. The top layer contained more organic material and had a high adsorption capacity. Highway soils were found to have 3-10 times higher Pb adsorption capacities than the amount currently deposited. Selective sequential extraction indicated low exchangeable Pb in highway soils. Batch desorption tests with leaching solutions of H 2 O (pH 5.5), HNO 3 solution (pH 4.0) and aqueous NaCl solution (0.17 M) indicate low likelihood of significant leaching. Selective sequential extraction, leachate extraction and desorption tests show that Pb has limited mobility in highway soil.

“…Leaves collected along urban roads may be contaminated with significant amounts of Pb and other trace metals ( Motto et al . 1970 ; Deroanne‐Bauvin et al . 1987 ; Warren & Birch 1987; Heckman & Kluchinski 1996).…”

“…However, these authors found elevated Pb, Cd, Cu and Zn concentrations from areas with naturally occurring or anthropogenically caused higher Pb, Cd, Cu and Zn levels in soils. Leaves collected along urban roads may be contaminated with signi®cant amounts of Pb and other trace metals (Motto et al 1970;Deroanne-Bauvin et al 1987;Warren & Birch 1987;Heckman & Kluchinski 1996). This may explain these results.…”

A German federal law, enacted in 1993, requires that biogenic wastes be source‐separated for re‐use in most circumstances. This has resulted in the collection of over 4 million metric tons of biogenic waste per year, most of which is composted. The purpose of this study is to examine the potential to control and to optimize the chemical and physical properties of biogenic waste composts from suburban and urban communities during different seasons. Therefore, the composition of the biogenic waste stream in the City of Hamburg, Germany was determined and the chemical and physical properties of the resulting composts were analysed. The most dramatic differences were found for trace metals, especially in urban areas. Although some trace metals cannot be avoided, careful analysis of typical waste stream fractions can permit moderation of end‐product contamination levels.

“…Thus, samplescollectedfrom the excavationand outcrop sites are consideredto be compositionally representative of their subsurfacecounterpartswith respect to the inorganic compositionsof the sand and smaller sizedmaterials. The concern regardinganthropogeniccontaminationof lead originating from the combustionof lead-containing gasolinesby motor vehicles is based on documentationof systematicvariationsin the concentrationof lead in soil with distance from highways,depth, and trafficvolume (e.g., Smith 1976;Yassoglouet al 1987;Deroanne-Bauvin et al 1987). Based on the results of these studies, it is indicatedthat there should be little, if any, measurable lead contaminationfrom vehicle exhaust in the soils at the backgroundsites because of the distancesof the sites from roadways,and the relativelylight traffic volumes on those roadways (AppendixA, SectionA2.3).…”
