摘要：
Lead concentrations were determined in six different locations in the Jeddah urban area by atomic absorption spectrometry. Correlations between the air-Pb data and traffic density were investigated. The lead concentration values obtained for the ambient air in Jeddah City ranged from 0.19 μg/m3 to 1.27 μg/m3. Comparison with ambient air quality standards from other countries indicates that certain areas in this city are approaching these guideline values. © 1990.
