Özet

The airborne Pb, Cd and Cu contamination of roadside soils was determined at the 200-12 coded traffic section of the Ankara-Etimesgut four-band boulevard around the Ankara Metropolitan area. The upper 0-5 cm soil layers along the road had the lead enrichment in high levels. Contamination of Pb, Cu and Cd decreased with the distance from the road edge and dropped to the almost background level between 40 m and 500 m. -from English summary
