Abstract

This work investigated the distribution and chemical fingerprints of 24 metals in particulate matter (PM) deposited in nonoccupational human lungs. Metals in the pulmonary PM can be grouped by the mean concentration as > 5 × 103 μg/g (Al/Fe/Ca/Mg/Zn), 1–5 × 103 μg/g (Ti/Ba/Pb/Mn), 0.2–1 × 103 μg/g (Cu/Cr/As/V) and 10, Al/Cd/Cr/Ba/Ni/Ti/Sn/V/Sb), moderate retention (2
