Original Abstract
Platinum is metal from platinum heavy group metals. It occurs naturally in the environment in very low concentrations. Although the mining takes place mainly in South Africa, Canada and in the Urals, its increasing incidence in the environment demonstrated by studies worldwide. The findings of platinum and other platinum metals (particularly palladium and rhodium) were detected in all parts of the environment. In particular, it is very often analyzed airborne dust, aerosols, road and tunnel dust, soil, aquatic sediments, plants, body fluids and tissues of animals, which is able to bioaccumulate and cause allergic reactions. Very good indicators of the state of environmental pollution, especially in large cities, are dust and soil from the nearby busy traffic roads and vegetation growing beside these roads.
