Abstract: | This article presents the impact of the ecological investment in ironworks (dust filter installation) and construction works
at a highly contaminated brownfield site on the chemical composition of household dust (HD) and street sediment (SS) in Celje,
Slovenia. The evaluation is based on two sampling campaigns: the first was undertaken 1 month before the ecological investment
became operational and the second 3 years later. The results show that dust filter installations reduced the content of Co,
Cr, Fe, Mn, Mo, W and Zn on average by 58% in HD and by 51% in SS. No reduction was observed at sampling points in the upwind
direction from the ironworks. By contrast, the impact of the construction works on the highly contaminated brownfield site
was detected by a significant increase (on average by 37%) of elements connected to the brownfield contamination in SS. Such
increase was not detected in HD. |
