Anthropogenic fugitive, combustion and industrial dust is a significant, underrepresented fine particulate matter source in global atmospheric models (2017, background): “Snider et al (2016) found an enhanced fraction of AFCID compared to natural sources over several Asian cities, evidenced by a high zinc (mainly anthropogenic as evidenced by Councell et al 2004 and Harrison et al 2012) to aluminum (mainly natural) ratio in PM2.”
Urban environmental geochemistry of trace metals. (2006, background): “…motor oils), industry-specific activities, the disposal of municipal waste (incineration and landfill), and the corrosion of construction/building materials (Barltrop, 1979; Kelly et al., 1996; van der Sloot et al., 1996; Tossavainen and Forssberg, 1999; Councell et al., 2004; Nadal et al., 2004).”

Fortification of micronutrients for efficient agronomic production: a review (2016, background): “Vehicle tire rubber contains about 1 % Zn (Councell et al. 2004); when ground, this could be concentrated to between 15 and 20 g Zn kg (Taheri et al.”
