Using Lead Isotopes to Identify Sources of Metal and Metalloid Contaminants

from NIEHS Superfund Research Program - Research Brief Podcasts · host Superfund Research Program

By sampling wind-blown dust and aerosol, researchers from the University of Arizona Superfund Research Program (UA SRP) have measured airborne metal and metalloid contaminant dispersion patterns from mining operations. While using an existing technique in a new way, the UA SRP researchers measured the extent of soil contamination near a mine and smelter while verifying the use of lead isotope analysis to identify contaminant sources.
