Résumé

Air pollutants combined with Hg, Cd, Cr, Pb, etc. in many global populated areas were studied comprehensively, while our understanding towards thallium (Tl), an extremely toxic heavy metal, remains very limited. Further, the knowledge on atmospheric emissions, distribution, and the hidden risks associated with Tl is of great scarcity. Hence, this work aims to review recent data on significant sources of ambient Tl resulting from industrial activities, including Pb/Zn/Cu/Fe sulfide ore smelting, steel-making, coal burning, and cement production that involves the use of Tl-bearing wastes. Through the examination of Tl emissions and transfer pathways in the atmosphere, it is found that Tl is present at lower than ng/m
