Abstract:
:Trace metals in street dust originate from many natural and anthropogenic sources and may directly or indirectly affect daily life and health. Here, the enrichment factor (EF), an efficient parameter to assess the contamination by trace metals, was evaluated and compared in four different zones of the urban area of Nanchang city during different seasons. Results showed that EFs of trace metals have regional seasonal variations. The EF range of Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd and Pb were found to be (0.76-16.38), (0.66-9.06), (1.09-169.58), (1.52-36.16), (0.44-7.17), (2.07-78.38), (0.95-20.94), respectively. These values indicate minimal to significant pollution. The EF values of Zn, Cd and Pb in street dust show very similar variations as their median and mean values of EF are higher in certain zones, and their seasonal variations are similar. The Ni and As results suggest that anthropogenic influences for these elements are not significant. The Ni may be influenced by land use type rather than point sources and As may be attributed to natural sources. The Principal Component Absolute Scores - Multivariate Linear Regression (PCAS-MLR) model was used to identify the types and contributions of trace metal sources. The main sources of trace metals in dust were found to be industrial discharges and traffic emissions. However, the percentages of their contributions have significant regional differences. The relationship between the EF of trace metals and the ecological risk index (ERI) was also investigated, and indicates that seriously polluted areas correspond to high ERI regions. The land use types and characteristics of the source jointly affects the relationship between EFs and ERI.
