A sample of urban roadway dust was physically fractionated into 30 subsamples, each having unique particle size, density and ferromagnetic characteristics. Each subsample was then analyzed for 35 elements. The resulting data set was subjected to target transformation factor analysis to identify and quantify the sources that contribute to roadway dust. The analysis indicated that soil, cement, automobile exhaust emissions, rust, tire wear and salt were the primary sources of particulate material, with the last 2 probably representing mixed components. Semiquantitative estimation of the minor source contributions was achieved. Consideration of graphical representations of elemental mass and concentration distributions, together with the results of the statistical analysis, provides considerable insight into the physical and chemical characteristics of elements in urban dust.
