Descripció:
Dust can contain considerable amounts of metals, many of which may be toxic and can be ingested by humans through inhalation. Metal stable isotopes are increasingly being used to determine the sources of these metals, for both air quality control and forensic purposes. The isotopes are pointing to both expected and unanticipated sources of the metals. This presentation focuses on using Cr, Zn, Cd and Hg stable isotopes to determine the sources of those metals in dust collected in and around Paris.
