“…The monthly average Cd, Mn, Ni and Pb concentrations were enough lower than the EU yearly limits. Available yearly average values for urban or suburban sites of Athens and Thessaloniki show comparable results, while Patras levels were found lower than at above suburban sites (Misaelides et al, 1993;Manoli et al, 2002;Voutsa et al, 2002;Thomaidis et al, 2003;Manalis et al, 2005;Karanasiou et al, 2007;Vasilakos et al, 2007a;and 2007b;Farmaki and Thomaidis, 2008;Melaku et al, 2008). The monthly Mn and Ni concentrations were lower than the annual levels measured in areas of northern Italy with industrial and agricultural activities (Braga Marcazzan, 1996;Marcazzan et al, 2002).…”

“…This approach allows the element presence to be correlated with respect to the same element abundance in the upper continental crust [49,57]. The EFs were calculated according to the equations reported in Misaelides et al [58] and Bergamaschi et al [59] using La as the normalizing element: if the EF value is below 10, the element has a crustal origin and therefore is defined as "no enriched element"; in contrast, if the EF value is higher than 40-50, the elements are of anthropogenic origin and are called "elements enriched"; values between these two thresholds show a mixed origin of the element investigated (long-transport phenomena from other natural and/or anthropogenic sources). Figure 2 shows the EF profile for all of the elements investigated in the three fractions.…”

“…Arsenic median value of 23 ppm shows increased levels, compared to continental crust levels of 0.20 ppm as noted by Mason and Moore (1982) and Reimann and de Caritat (1998), soil levels of 0.67 as noted by Kabata-Pendias (2011), and finally top soil levels of 11.6 ppm as noted for the mean top soil of Europe, after FOREGS (2005). According to Misaelides et al (1993) the mean As concentration for the rural area near Thessaloniki, Greece for the period 1989-1990 was 2.7 ppm.…”
