Article Synopsis
- Traffic-related facilities generally emit less metal pollution than other sources, but their widespread presence can still contribute significantly to soil contamination.
- A study measured metal contamination in soils, revealing that concentrations of zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), and copper (Cu) were often higher than natural levels, with Zn being the most prevalent contaminant.
- The analysis identified two main sources of contamination: vehicle maintenance and emissions, categorizing pollution into different groups based on their origin, such as areas around garages and parking lots.
