Determination of Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Co, Cd, and Mn in road dusts of Samsun City.
The dust samples from 52 different locations in central roads of Samsun City were collected in a study area of 40 km long for the purpose of determining total metal concentrations of dust samples by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The concentrations of Cu, Pb, Co, Zn, Ni, Mn, and Cd were found in the ranges of 11.92-352.43, 5.47-223.57, 4.52-41.69, 40.85-173.10, 18.71-131.29, 133.19-179.13, and 0.02-6.16 mg/kg, respectively. The results showed that metal levels were higher around the industrial area than other locations. Principal component analysis was also carried out to ascertain the possible contributing factors towards the metal concentrations. Validation of the analytical results was tested by analysis of the BCR 032 Moroccan phosphate rock certified reference material.
