Abstract: | The availabilities of elements in some dust proximal sources of urban pollution were investigated. The sources were: leaded and unleaded automobile exhaust; leaded dry paint; one soil; and mixtures that included the leaded exhaust as a common component. A miniaturized modified Tessier et al. leaching scheme was developed that showed little redistribution of the most available elements. Mn, Pb, S, and Sb were the most readily available in both the leaded and unleaded exhaust; C and Pb in the paint; and Mn and S in the soil. The available elements for the leaded exhaust predominated in its mixtures with evidence of redistributions for the three-component mixture. The environmental pollution (EP) toxicity procedure with five leachings was shown to be approximately equivalent to adding the water-soluble, exchangeable, carbonate, iron/manganese oxide, and part of the organic fractions. Simulated acid rainwater leached elements up to the iron/manganese oxide fraction. The results have application to storm runoff and acid rain leaching of dusts, aerosols, wastes, and soils. |
