Abstract

The concentrations of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn in atmospheric particulates, roadside dust and soils have been determined along a major arterial highway in East London. Metal levels along the roadway were found to be elevated relative to those observed at a background site. Airborne Pb concentrations were within the E.C. Directive limit value of 2000 ng m −3. Soil metal levels were found to decline rapidly with distance from the road.
