2012 IESS - Assessment of Heavy Metals and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (Pahs) in Air Particulates on Accra-Tema Motorway in the Greater Accra Region, Ghana
Particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 10 11m (PMIO), Black Carbon (BC), Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metals (Pb, Zn, Ni, Co, Cd, Cu, V, Mn, Cr, Na, Mg, As, Fe, Ca) concentration levels along the Accra - Tema motorway were assessed in this work. Using IVL sampler and Sierra Anderson (GAST) pump, airborne particulates were sampled on Teflon filters for 28 days, starting from 4th November to 1 st December, 2011
