Potentially Toxic Metal‐Bearing Phases in Urban Dust and Suspended Particulate Matter: The Case of Budapest, Hungary
Airborne particulate matter (PM) has been widely associated with health disorders primarily due to its fine particles but also due to its toxic components. This chapter summarizes the results of study on the host phases of potentially toxic elements in urban dust and total suspended particulate matter from Budapest, Hungary, based on published data. Urban dust (UD) samples were collected according to the Hungarian standard using glass pots of 2 L containing 500 mL distilled water seasonally for two years. On the basis of the metal deposition characteristics in the UD, resuspension of dust and soil, seasonal variation of weather, and the morphology of the natural and built environment affect the metal loading simultaneously, where all of these factors together may overcome the metal contribution from recent anthropogenic activities.
