“…The high EF values for Mn are related to the metallurgical industry and the burning of fossil fuels (MCT). The highest values of the acquisition index for all monitored elements were found at the O-MH site affected by the operation of the steelworks, which is in line with the results of Švedová et al [37]. Average EF values in MSK are EF Cr (145), EF Cu (772), EF Pb (1968), EF Zn (3119), EF Fe (20) and EF Mn (33) clearly show significant impacts on anthropogenic activity, both in relation to the Olomouc background site and in comparison to the data published by Di Vaio et al [36].…”

This study investigates the chemical composition of water-soluble inorganic ions at eight localities situated in the Moravian–Silesian Region (the Czech Republic) at the border with Poland. Water-soluble inorganic ions were monitored in the winter period of 2018 (January, 11 days and February, 5 days). The set was divided into two periods: the acceptable period (the 24-h concentration of PM10 < 50 µg/m3) and the period with exceeded pollution (PM10 ˃ 50 µg/m3). Air quality in the Moravian–Silesian Region and Upper Silesia is among the most polluted in Europe, especially in the winter season when the concentration of PM10 is repeatedly exceeded. The information on the occurrence and behaviour of water-soluble inorganic ions in the air during the smog episodes in Europe is insufficient. The concentrations of water-soluble ions (chlorides, sulphates, nitrates, ammonium ions, potassium) during the exceeded period are higher by two to three times compared with the acceptable period. The major anions for both acceptable period and exceeded pollution are nitrates. During the period of exceeded pollution, percentages of water-soluble ions in PM10 decrease while percentages of carbonaceous matter and insoluble particles (fly ash) increase.

“…Presently normalized enrichment factor is widely used and usually entitled "enrichment factor" without the word "normalized" and with abbreviation EF. It was used for dust studies by some researchers, e.g., [36,[40][41][42] and others. Now this index is sometimes used for dust contamination classification, e.g., [43][44][45], to distinguish five so-called contamination classes (SCC): <2-minimal; 2-5-moderate; 5-20-significant; 20-40-very high; >40-extreme.…”

“…The choice of either Cv or Bn can lead to different general formal conclusion about ambient air state. The resulting uncertainty, when the same name is used for indices based on either Cv or Bn is being addressed by a growing number of researchers such as [36,[40][41][42] and others. Therefore, we shall try to compare data classifications according to SCC in discussion, where the effectiveness of search for presumable contamination hotspots and sources will be analyzed.…”

“…Due to the main advantage of continuous accumulation of sufficient dust for quantitative analysis, it was decided to use artificial passive samplers for the study. Although wide range of PM sampling methods is available worldwide, including biotic accumulators, e.g., lichens, moss, barks, leaves [1,14,[53][54][55], and abiotic passive methods, i.e., (i) sampling of dust deposited on snow cover [15,48,[56][57][58], (ii) sampling of road dust from pavement using a brush and a scoop [42,43,[59][60][61][62][63][64][65], the main advantages of artificial passive samplers are: they are cost friendly, have a known deposition period, measurement of deposition flux, and have the possibility to provide important indicators for local pollution sources [2,[65][66][67][68][69][70][71].…”

Geochemical investigations of total suspended particulates (TSP) help detect hotspots and emission sources in port cities with stevedoring operations. The aim was to reveal these sources via geochemical indices (gI). TSP were collected in Klaipėda using original passive samplers in ten sites during four periods, during one of them, in ten additional sites near iron ore stevedoring (IOS). The contents of 22 elements (PHEs, crustal, Br, Cl) were determined by EDXRF in TSP and characteristic dust (CD) of stevedored iron ore, apatite, phosphorite, potassium fertilizers, and in waste incineration ash. Median Fe content in TSP near IOS was ~29%. The significant anthropogenic origin of clusters Fe–Cr, Sr–P, V–Ni–Zn–Cu, Pb–As, and Mg–Ca, Br–S–Cl was confirmed by gI mapping and analysis of CD. Significant temporal variability of Cl, S, Sr, Ni, Br, V, and Zn due to weather changes was revealed. Near IOS, significantly higher values of gI were found for Fe and Cr, while far from IOS, for K, Sr, Ti, Rb, Cu, Al, Si, Zr, Ca, Mg. Significantly higher values of normalized enrichment factor near IOS were not only for Fe and Cr, but also for As, Pb, S, Mn, Br, and Cl.

“…Iron of iron-containing minerals was substituted by other elements, e.g. Cu, Ni, Cr Pb or Zn during the aging of iron oxides (Aguilar Reyes et al, 2013;Jordanova et al, 2014;Švédová et al, 2020) and these iron oxides may include maghemite, magnetite, hematite, goethite and other iron oxides or α-iron. Variation in the abundance of those iron oxides in soil, sediment and atmospheric dusts leads to variation in magnetic signatures.…”

Sources of magnetic phases in urban dust include tra c-related activities, industrial products and detrital minerals.Exposure to magnetic phases in urban dust co-associated with trace metals is associated with respiratory ailments in sensitive organisms. Here, we collected samples of surface roadside dust and topsoil from Xiamen island, Fujian, China and then magnetic properties were determined using rock-magnetic methods. Magnetic particle concentrations in surface roadside dust was found to be signi cantly high compared with magnetic content in topsoil using magnetic susceptibility (𝜒LF), saturation isothermal remanent magnetization (SIRM) and susceptibility of anhysteretic remanent magnetization (𝜒ARM). Roadside dusts had much lower percent frequency-dependent susceptibility (1.83 ± 0.12%) than topsoil (2.96 ± 0.14%). Given the 𝜒ARM/SIRM vs 𝜒fd% and rst-order reversal curves, most of the magnetic particles in roadside dust were large than in topsoil. Variable temperature dependence of magnetization, isothermal remanent magnetization decomposition spectra and rst-order reversal curves suggested the enhancement of dust 𝜒LF, SIRM and 𝜒ARM were related to the exogenous pseudo-single-domain magnetite-like materials. This study provides a better understanding of magnetic ageing of dust particles in coastal cities. These results will be useful in optimizing environmental policies aimed at regulating magnetic dust particles pollution in coastal cities.
