The primary objective of this study was to characterize the occurrence and distribution of hazardous metals in dryer lint samples. Dryer lint samples (n\u2009=\u2009480), consisting of natural, synthetic fibers or a combination of these different types, were analyzed for trace metals of toxicological concern (n\u2009=\u200911) using field portable x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. The analysis revealed the presence of Sb (n\u2009=\u2009250; 48\u2009\u00b1\u20092.5\u2009\u03bcg\/g) in the highest concentration in synthetic products and Br (n\u2009=\u2009480, 17\u2009\u00b1\u20093.3\u2009\u03bcg\/g) in natural products. Lead and arsenic were detected in 32 and four samples at mean concentrations of 8.5\u2009\u00b1\u20091.2\u2009\u00b5g\/g and 4.8\u2009\u00b1\u20090.91\u2009\u00b5g\/g for Pb and As, respectively. A preliminary estimation of potential human exposure and illustrative exposure estimation via inhalation, ingestion, and dermal contact was also included for illustrative purposes. Because dryer lint represents the materials expelled during the drying process, its composition and potential reuse in households (e.g., recycling into new products) are crucial from an environmental perspective. This study highlights the importance of understanding the sources of these elements in clothing and the implications of metallic nanoparticles and microplastics.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/etojnl\/vgaf124","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,19]],"date-time":"2025-05-19T11:34:46Z","timestamp":1747654486000},"page":"2361-2375","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Exposure assessment of hazardous metal elements in laundry dryer lint and preliminary multiroute health risk estimation"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"44","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4621-3429","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maciej","family":"Noga","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Regulatory and Forensic Toxicology, Institute of Medical Expertises , \u0141\u00f3d\u017a,","place":["Poland"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0310-2849","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kamil","family":"Jurowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Regulatory and Forensic Toxicology, Institute of Medical Expertises , \u0141\u00f3d\u017a,","place":["Poland"]},{"name":"Department of Toxicology, Faculty of Medicine, Collegium Medicum, Rzesz\u00f3w University , Rzesz\u00f3w,","place":["Poland"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025073101515151400_vgaf124-B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1997","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph9061997","article-title":"United States Environmental Protection Agency authority to use cumulative risk assessments in environmental decision-making","volume":"9","author":"Alves","year":"2012","journal-title":"International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health"},{"key":"2025073101515151400_vgaf124-B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"104824","DOI":"10.1016\/j.yrtph.2020.104824","article-title":"Antimony release from polyester textiles by artificial sweat solutions: A call for a standardized procedure","volume":"119","author":"Biver","year":"2021","journal-title":"Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology"},{"key":"2025073101515151400_vgaf124-B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"238","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijheh.2011.09.009","article-title":"Application of human biomonitoring (HBM) of chemical exposure in the characterisation of health risks under REACH","volume":"215","author":"Boogaard","year":"2012","journal-title":"International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health"},{"key":"2025073101515151400_vgaf124-B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1296","DOI":"10.1007\/s12221-021-0440-0","article-title":"Usage of barium titanate in fabric coating and investigation of some properties","volume":"22","author":"Celen","year":"2021","journal-title":"Fibers and Polymers"},{"key":"2025073101515151400_vgaf124-B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"167","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jclepro.2013.04.013","article-title":"Brominated flame retardants in textile wastewater: Reducing deca-BDE using best available techniques","volume":"53","author":"Derden","year":"2013","journal-title":"Journal of Cleaner Production"},{"key":"2025073101515151400_vgaf124-B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"197","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1006712408990","article-title":"Neutron activation analysis of laundry dryer lint","volume":"247","author":"Ene-Parent","year":"2001","journal-title":"Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry"},{"key":"2025073101515151400_vgaf124-B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"191","DOI":"10.1111\/cod.12273","article-title":"Copper hypersensitivity","volume":"71","author":"Fage","year":"2014","journal-title":"Contact Dermatitis"},{"key":"2025073101515151400_vgaf124-B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"818","DOI":"10.1080\/10934529.2012.664994","article-title":"Pollution level and health risk assessment of road dust from an expressway","volume":"47","author":"Faiz","year":"2012","journal-title":"Journal of Environmental Science and Health.
