Road dust from atmospheric deposition is considered as one of the significant environmental pollutants for containing toxic heavy metals. In this connection, to explore the present scenario of urban contamination and potential health risk of heavy metals present in road dust; this study was carried out in Tangail Municipality Area of Bangladesh. Road dust samples were collected seasonally from five different sampling sites encompassing different traffic homogeneity. Collected samples were processed and analyzed for Lead (Pb), Chromium (Cr) and Cadmium (Cd) in road dust through the atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). Primarily, all metals under investigation were found in higher concentrations in the wet season, and the ordering of mean contents |
