Chemical footprints of harmattan dust and traffic corridor particulates monitored at two environmentally distinct geopolitical zones in Nigeria.

This study found that chemical footprints (Al, Si, K, Ca, Ti, and Fe) of harmattan-related dust were more correlated (r2 between 0.88 and 0.99) than those attributed to dust re-suspension at the traffic location. PMID: 32642902 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
