We review the evolution, state of the art and future lines of research on the sources, transport
pathways, and sinks of particulate trace elements in urban terrestrial environments to …

Because household dust is a heterogeneous assortment of particles derived from a
multitude of diverse sources, concentrations of toxicants, like trace metals, vary widely …

Given the large proportion of time that people spend indoors, the potential health risks
posed by heavy metals in the indoor environment deserve greater attention. A global-scale …

This study examines residential indoor dust from 224 homes in Sydney, Australia for trace
element concentrations measured using portable X-ray Fluorescence (pXRF) and their …

Solubility is a critical component of physicochemical characterisation of engineered
nanomaterials (ENMs) and an important parameter in their risk assessments. Standard …

The Canadian House Dust Study was designed to obtain nationally representative urban
house dust metal concentrations (μgg− 1) and metal loadings (μgm− 2) for arsenic (As) …

Trace metals in soils may pose risks to both ecosystem and human health, especially in an
urban environment. However, only a fraction of the metal content in soil is mobile and/or …

This study investigated relationships between element concentrations in settled indoor dust
and airborne particulate matter (PM), and characterized element concentrations in fine (PM …

Understanding the links between sources of magnetic particles and bioaccessibility of metal
(loids) in environmental sampling media is crucial for better evaluating human health risks …

House dust samples containing 25–738 mg of Pb kg–1 from 15 cities in China were
assessed for in vitro Pb bioaccessibility and in vivo Pb relative bioavailability. On the basis of …
