Magnetic measurements and heavy metal analyses were performed on street dusts from the main urban area of Chibi (赤壁) City, Hubei (湖北) Province, China. Results revealed that a PSD/MD (pseudo-single-domain/multi-domain) magnetite-like phase dominates the magnetic phases of the street dust. Concentration-related magnetic parameters, such as magnetic susceptibility (
