Nanoparticles (NPs) resulting from urban road dust resuspension are an understudied class
of pollutants in urban environments with strong potential for health hazards. The objective of …

Road dust particles including nanoparticles (NPs), with heterogeneous composition, are
significant carriers of metals/metalloids and can be further transported into the atmosphere …

The resuspension of road dust from street surfaces could be a big contributor to atmospheric
particulate pollution in the rapid urbanization context in the world. However, to date what its …

A study on heavy metal pollution was undertaken in the re-suspended road dusts from
different functional areas in Xi'an City of China to investigate the impacts of human activities …

Sixty five urban road dust samples were collected from different land use areas of∼ 240km2
in Xi'an, China. The concentrations of Ag, As, Cr, Cu, Hg, Pb, Sb and Zn were determined to …

Road dust is an important source of resuspended particulate matter (PM) but information is
lacking on the chemical composition of the ultrafine particle fraction (UFP;< 0.1 µm). This …

Traffic emissions are a significant source of airborne particulate matter (PM) in ambient
environments. These emissions contain an abundance of toxic metals and thus pose …

The wide application of nanotechnology has led to the inevitable release and transport of
metal-based nanoparticles (MNPs) into the environment. However, very few studies have …

Re-suspended road dust RRD as RRD 2.5 and RRD 10 can even more easily enter the
atmospheric environment, showing a kind of significant potential to influence atmospheric …

Urban and suburban road dust samples were collected in the most populated city of China,
Shanghai. Size fractions of dust particles were analyzed; metal levels of the dust were also …
