The Trend of Trace Elements (Cd, Ni, Pb) from PM2.5 and PM10 Aerosols and its Effect on Human Health in Bucharest, Romania

Abstract:

The comprehensive investigation of the elemental characteristics in fine and coarse particles at Bucharest was carried out. The daily samples of PM2.5 and PM10 particulate matter were collected at eight monitoring stations for a one-year period, and concentrations of Cd, Ni, Pb elements were analyzed. The results show that PMs and trace elements were present in high concentrations in Bucharest. The annual concentrations of PM10 and PM2.5 were 31.57 μg/m3 and 21.30 μg/m3, respectively. In Bucharest, the average concentration ratio of fine (PM2.5) and coarse particulates (PM10) was 0.67. Trace elements concentration carried by the PM2.5 was higher than the concentration detected from PM10. The Cd, Ni, and Pb accumulation was higher by 55.16%, 37.46% and 29.14% in fine particles than in coarse particles. The annual mean trace element concentration from PM2.5 and PM10 was in the case of Cd 0.22/0.24 ng/m3, for Ni 3.28/3.14 ng/m3 and for Pb 5.61/6.44 ng/m3, respectively. The highest Spearman correlation was found between Cd and Ni with correlation coefficient of 0.62 in PM2.5 and 0.48 in PM10, which suggests that they share common sources. The health risk indexes were estimated for both adults and children thanks to the trace elements from the particulate matter (PM), and the results revealed that inhalation was the major exposure pathway in both cases.
