Popis: The accumulation of total Pb, Cd, Cu, and Zn in soils (0-5 cm) and windowsill dust fractions (45-125, 10-45, and 10 μm), and soil pollution indices (PI), were investigated in a long-term (~ 70 years) Pb smelter area and in the nearby urban city of Jiyuan, China. Principal component analysis (PCA) was utilized to identify metal contamination sources. Results showed that mean soil Pb, Cd, Cu, and Zn concentrations in the smelter area were 803, 13.8, 118, and 323 mg kg
