Urban soils have been changed much by human impacts in terms of structure, composition
and use. This review paper gives a general introduction into changes from compaction …

Abstract The concentrations of Platinum (Pt), Rhodium (Rh) and Palladium (Pd) were
evaluated from a highly impacted estuary in Brazil influenced by industrial pole, highway …

Abrasion of modern car catalytic converters has resulted in increased deposition of
anthropogenic platinum group elements (PGEs; Pd, Pt, Rh) in roadside soils, but still little is …

There is great concern about the environmental impact and toxicity of palladium (Pd)
because of its widespread use in automotive catalytic converters and other applications. Pd …

ABSTRACT A catalytic converter mitigates exhaust gas toxicity by transforming harmful
emissions into less harmful substances. Platinum group elements (PGEs) are essential …

Risk assessments of platinum group metal (PGE) emissions, notably those of platinum (Pt),
palladium (Pd) and rhodium (Rh), have been mostly based on data regarding the metallic …

The aim of this study is to discuss the concentration distribution, composition and possible
sources of trace metals and 13 PAHs in topsoils of the University campus, in the city of São …

Environmental palladium levels are increasing because of anthropogenic activities. The
considerable mobility of the metal, due to solubilisation phenomena, and its known …

In this review article we have summarised the results of platinum group element (PGE)
uptake studies and measurement of PGE contents in plants published within the last 5 years …

Palladium (Pd) is an emerging eco-toxic pollutant from vehicle catalytic converters, emitted
worldwide for more than two decades. Nowadays, the spatial extent of Pd fallout is growing …
