主 题:floor dust loading wipe tests GIS dust Pb concentration humidity corrections
摘 要:A program of house dust sample collection and analysis has begun in Syracuse,New York,USA,in order to determine the feasibility of a geography-based exposure assessment for urban *** sampling program,and the protocols it employs,is described for two different types of wipe media,Ghost Wipes and Whatman *** results show that strong spatial patterns of floor dust loading(mg dust per square foot)can be observed for data aggregated at a spatial scale of about 1600 m(~2.5 km^(2)).Floor dust metal concentrations were similar to those found in other urban environments,with some regional *** median floor dust Pb concentration was~108 mg·kg^(-1)for this initial data set of~264 sampled residential locations,and varied from 50 to 1100 mg Pb·kg^(-1).
