Distribution Characteristics of Zn Content and its Pollution Assessment in Suzhou Street Dusts

Abstract:

After selecting 23 samples from street pavement dust in Suzhou city, this article analyzed the Zn content in street dust with X-RF fluorescence spectrometer analysis and carried on the ecological risk evaluation. The results show that the Zn content in Suzhou street dusts is from 121 to 538 (mg / kg), and distribution characterized of different functional areas as follows: the business district > the vicinity of the station>the rest area of culture and education > the residential area> the industrial area; the accumulation index values is between 0.76 and 1.78, which is non-polluting or moderately polluted.
