The occurrence and sources of Ni in ambient air particulates using synchrotron radiation based X-ray fluorescence and X-ray absorption near edge structure
Ni in Cairo’s air exceeds WHO/EU limits (20–30 ng m −3 ). Synchrotron techniques used for mapping and speciation. XANES reveals divalent Ni dominance in industrial areas, linking pollution to anthropogenic sources with carcinogenic risks.
