An Analysis of Road Dust Samples in the United States

In industrial regions, such as those in Northwestern Indiana, raw input, waste, and other products of industry are moved to and from their manufacturing locations, and can affect and be detected in local ecosystems. One method of qualifying the presence of any potentially hazardous industrial byproducts is by sampling the dust which accumulates along roads, called Road Dust Sediments (RDS), and chemically analyzing these samples for numerous properties. Road dust, which is a mixture of organic and inorganic compounds, can be used as an indicator for what pollutants are present in a particular area. Through an analysis of samples collected from across the country, we were able to identify various properties of the sediment samples, such as pH, metal presence, organic compound composition, and solubility in water to determine the overall makeup of the samples. Methods used for analysis of RDS samples included Liquid Chromatography (LC), Infrared Spectroscopy (IR), X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), pH determination, organic carbon analysis, and visual analysis using a microscope. Overall, the results seemed to indicate a higher level of pollutants in areas closer to industry compared to areas more removed from industry

Analysis of Road Dust Sediment from Valparaiso, IN.

One effective way to measure exposure to heavy metals, microplastics, and other contaminants is by studying road sediment. This sediment can include particles that travel along the road, as well as particles from tires and the metals in cars. In this study, we examined the roadside sediment at seven sites in Valparaiso, Indiana. Each sample was analyzed for microplastics, metal content, and carbon content. In order to test for microplastics, the samples underwent a density separation in a ZnCl2 solution and vacuum filtration to isolate plastic particles. The filtered samples were treated with a hydrogen peroxide solution under UV light conditions to eliminate the organic material from the samples. The samples were analyzed through RAMAN spectroscopy. Traces of several plastics were found, including polyurethane, nylon, and polyamide. In connection to the road dust samples, a carbon analysis was performed by submitting samples of road dust in an oven at 100 °C, 500 °C and 1000 °C. Carbon percentage was collected at 500°C and carbonate at 1000°C. Results indicated high percentages of carbonate on Laport from the roundabout going to Valparaiso Marketplace. High carbon percentages were found at 7A Indiana Ave
