Abstract

The heavy metals such as manganese (Mn), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu) and iron (Fe) were determined in domestic, commercial and industrial soot samples via atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The vehicle soot samples showed highest concentration of investigated heavy metals as compared to other soot samples. It was also found that the concentration of Fe was high in the soot samples (range 5.75–1105 mg/Kg) followed by Cu (70–990 mg/Kg) while the concentration of Ni was lower (range 0.5–3 mg/Kg). It was also found that the concentration of Mn and Fe was decreased as decreased the size of the soot samples while the concentration of other investigated heavy metals increased as decreased the size fraction.

Kurzfassung

Schwermetalle wie Mangan (Mn), Cadmium (Cd), Zink (Zn), Chrom (Cr), Blei (Pb), Nickel (Ni), Kupfer (Cu) und Eisen (Fe) wurden in Rußproben aus Haushalten, Handel und Industrie mittels Atomadsorptionsspektrometrie bestimmt. Von allen untersuchten Rußproben wiesen die Rußproben von Fahrzeugen die höchsten Konzentrationen der untersuchten Schwermetalle auf. Es wurde auch gefunden, dass die Eisenkonzentration (Bereich: 5,75–1105 mg/kg) in den Rußproben hoch war, gefolgt von Kupfer (Bereich 70–990 mg/kg), wohingegen die Nickelkonzentration (0,5–3 mg/kg) geringer war. Die Konzentration von Mangan und Eisen nahm ab, wenn die Partikelgröße in den Proben abnahm, während die Konzentration der anderen untersuchten Schwermetalle mit abnehmender Partikelgröße anstieg.
