Abstract
Investigations into the transformation characteristics of metals deposited on urban roads required a scientifically robust research design. Sample collection and laboratory analyses were two important steps in the overall research design. This chapter provides a detailed discussion on the methods adopted for road dust sample collection, sample handling and preservation, and laboratory experiments for the analysis of selected metals and key physicochemical parameters of road dust.
