Investigations into a specific source of dust for strategic or enforcement purposes. The main feature of the guide is a new qualitative risk assessment tool for use in assessing the risk posed by nuisance dust. These are based on three key elements: The hazard potential of dust sources; The exposure pathway between the source and …
Street dust has attracted widespread attention of scientists in recent years, because it is considered as a major reservoir for various pollutants, including heavy metals derived from different sources nearby (Wei et al. 2015).Heavy metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn, etc.) accumulating in the street dust are highly bioavailable and mobile, …
Methylsiloxanes are synthetic molecules with versatile and extensive applications. Because of their volatile properties, they are easily released from manufactured products and contaminate indoor environments, causing high human exposure.However, available information on their presence in specific …

The exceptional dust event in mid-March 2021 had serious impacts in both Mongolia and China and is thus of great interest for diverse reasons (e.g., Filonchyk, 2022, Gui et al., 2022, Qian et al., 2022, Han and Guan and Gu, 2021).The Mongolian cyclone is visible as a cloud band marking the cold front on 15 March 2021 from the Moderate …
After thermal desorption, the total amount of heavy metals (HMs) is enriched in baghouse filter dust. To further understand the related environmental impact, the leaching characteristics under various conditions must be explored. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the leaching characteristics of seven HMs in the dust generated in …
