Traffic related metal distribution profiles and their impact on urban soils
The main sources of soil pollution in urban areas are traffic emissions. Its contribution to the global urban emissions of trace elements is increasing every year. The dispersion of those pollutants is affected by the climatic conditions, placing finally in other areas such as the surrounding soil and water. Trace elements could have different behavior regarding to their vertical and horizontal distribution pattern. Thus, the concern for the distribution profile of trace elements in the urban environment is rapidly growing. In this context, the present study was designed to investigate the horizontal and vertical distribution of traffic related metals in urban soils surrounding a road and to assess their level of contamination.
