Work was focused on the determination of trace inorganic contaiminants like lead.mercury. chromium. Nickel. Platinum. Palladium. Rhodium etc. In the road side dust of delhi by ICPMS. Similarly samples of dust was also analysed for the determination of polyaromatic hydrocarbons by GCMS technique. These samples were also tested for homogenity. The main focus of this study was to develop certified reference material for road dust / aerosol.
