Environmental dusts of urban and industrial origin are one of the most important factors responsible for air and soil pollution - mainly because of heavy metals content. In this work a dust collected from the acoustic barriers of E-77 expressway (Poland) has been investigated. Chemical analysis was performed by means of atomic absorption spectrometer with flame atomization (F-AAS). Fe, Al and Zn metals dominate in the investigated road dusts. Mossbauer spectra collected at room temperature enabled the identification of several iron-containing phases in the dust. Some traces of hematite and magnetite have been found as well as alfa-Fe phase in ferromagnetic state. A significant component could be interpreted as pure iron in paramagnetic state. The dominating doublet in the spectrum of high quadrupole splitting could correspond to iron carbonates. Complementary measurements of low-field AC magnetic susceptibility confirmed a different metal content in the road dust samples collected from different altitudes of acoustic barriers.

Indoor PM2.5 levels have been measured in the Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty during the autumn of 2007 between September and December. PM2.5 was measured for a period of 8 h during the workday (8.30 a.m.–4.30 p.m.). The maximum PM2.5 level equal to 388.5 μg/m3 was found at the administrative building. The highest average PM2.5 was 160.1 μg/m3 measured at the waiting room of central laboratory.
