Article Synopsis
- A two-year study was conducted in Qingdao from November 2018 to January 2020 to analyze trace elements in atmospheric particulate matter (PM) during autumn and winter, focusing on their sources and health risks.
- The research identified four air quality levels and revealed that concentrations of trace elements, particularly vanadium (V), decreased significantly due to the implementation of the Domestic Emission Control Area (DECA) policy aimed at reducing pollution from ships.
- Health risk assessments indicated varying levels of non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks associated with elements like manganese (Mn), arsenic (As), and cadmium (Cd), highlighting the need for better pollution management strategies.
16 priority control polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were analyzed by GC-MS in 22 surface soil (0-20 cm) samples collected from a large steel enterprise in the north of China. The concentrations of Σ16PAHs ranged from 22.0 μg·kg to 20062.
