Study of pollution status and health risks for selected metals in PM10 from Islamabad, Pakistan
The current study is based on the measurement and monitoring of selected trace metals in coarse particles (PM 10 ) from Islamabad, Pakistan. The particulate samples were analysed by atomic absorption spectroscopy to assess the concentration of trace metals: K, Ca, Fe, Zn, Mg, Cu, Cr, Mn, Pb, Sr, Li,...

| Zusammenfassung: | The current study is based on the measurement and monitoring of selected trace metals in coarse particles (PM
10
) from Islamabad, Pakistan. The particulate samples were analysed by atomic absorption spectroscopy to assess the concentration of trace metals: K, Ca, Fe, Zn, Mg, Cu, Cr, Mn, Pb, Sr, Li, Ni, Co, Ag, and Cd. The mean concentration of PM

was 88.31 µg/m
