Isotopic studies of the environmental chemistry of lead

Lead emitted into the environment, primarily from the combustion of leaded petrol and industrial activities, such as metal smelting and coal burning, retains the isotopic signature of the ores from which it is derived. Accordingly, it is possible, at least in principle, to distinguish sources of lea...
