    Abstract:
    To explore the element pollution characteristics and sources of road dust fall, road dust fall samples were collected during spring in Tianjin and suspended to obtain PM2.5 and PM10, 16 elements were analyzed, and then their characteristics, sources, and similarities were studied by nonparametric tests, the coefficient of divergence, and enrichment factor. The results showed that the mass fraction (1%-20%) in sequential order of the elements in PM2.5 and PM10 in Tianjin road dust fall were Si > Al > Ca > Fe > Mg > K > Na. The coefficient of divergence of elements in PM10 and PM2.5 was 0.06, indicating that the elements profiles of PM10 might be similar to PM2.5. The elements of Cd and Cr in PM10 and PM2.5 were at a high level of enrichment degree, and Zn, Cu, Pb, and As showed significant enrichment. The main sources of the elements in PM10 and PM2.5 road dust fall in Tianjin were soil dust, construction dust, traffic dust (motor vehicle exhaust, tire wear, and brake wear), and coal combustion.
