[Source Identification and Pollution Characteristics of Heavy Metals in Suspended Particles of Urban Road Dust from Xingtai City].

Fifty dust samples were collected from Xingtai City to study the source characteristics of heavy metals in suspended particles of urban road dust from industrial enterprise transformation cities. The contents of Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, and Pb in particles of urban road dust smaller than 100 μm were determined by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, and their pollution levels were assessed by enrichment factor. The possible sources of heavy metals measured in the dust were identified by multivariate statistical analysis methods including correlation analysis, principal component analysis, and cluster analysis.
