Investigation of the heavy metal sources in relation to automobiles

In order to investigate the sources of roadside heavy metal pollution, auto tire, gasoline, gas oil, kerosene, paint for road markings (white, yellow and red), the soot from the discharge spout, auto tire rubber, asphalt pavement, gray paint and anticorrosive on the guardrail were gathered together...

Description
Summary:In order to investigate the sources of roadside heavy metal pollution, auto tire, gasoline, gas oil, kerosene, paint for road markings (white, yellow and red), the soot from the discharge spout, auto tire rubber, asphalt pavement, gray paint and anticorrosive on the guardrail were gathered together and analyzed. As a consequence, Pb may be originally from yellow and red road markings, and gray paint or anticorrosive. Hg is mainly emitted from the combustion of premium gasoline and diesel soot is an important source of As, Ni and Zn. Cd and Zn are mainly emitted from the abrasion of tire rubber. The wear of asphalt pavement is considered to be a source of Ni and V.
