The aim of this study is to determine the levels of concentrations of selected heavy metals of aerosol metals contamination in falling dust at different roadsides in Benghazi city. In order to do that, measuring the concentrations of the selected aerosol metals by using vacuum pump and measured using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) technique. Six composite samples were collected along roadsides and each sample was represented average of five samples which collected from that particular area. The concentrations of aerosol metals of each site were based on density of traffic road and type of industrial activities, also to the number of population. Each measured sample was replicated three times to obtain representative and accurate values. Also, a statistical analysis including mean and standard deviation were carried out. Correlation coefficient of calibration curves of measured a.. Read More»
