“…Although it is unlikely that there existed only a single source emitting Pb during the 1960s. This 1960s signature was close to the European Standard Lead Pollution (ESLP) line defined by Haack et al (2002Haack et al ( , 2003 from atmospheric Pb deposition across Europe, confirming the presence of anthropogenic Pb in this sample. More recent contamination signatures (1995, 1997, 2002 and 2012) were located between the industrial and leaded petrol poles (defined from data from Monna et al (1997), Véron et al (1999) and Cloquet et al (2015)).…”

These were aligned with the industrial Pb line also defined by Haack et al (2002Haack et al ( , 2003 from industrial equipment, exhaust pipes and several major ore deposits. As such, it is possible to envisage a mixture between these two poles to understand the signatures obtained recently in the Eure watershed.…”

Anthropogenic impacts on rivers have increased significantly over the past ~150 years, particularly at the beginning of the industrial revolution. Among other signs, this impact is manifested through the addition of trace metals and metalloid elements to rivers. The Eure River watershed in France covers an area of 6017 km2 and is a major tributary of the Seine estuary. It is not exempt from anthropogenic pressures and has been exposed to significant metal discharges over the last 80 years. The average concentrations of metals (i.e., Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ag, Cd, Sb, and Pb), in suspended particulate matter currently transported by the river are high compared to the local geochemical background. Moreover, the lack of correlation between concentration variations and the hydrosedimentary behaviour of the Eure River suggests that the river is currently under anthropogenic pressure. Analysis of sediment cores indicate strong As contamination during the 1940s, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ag, Cd, and Hg contamination during the 1960s and 1970s, and Sb and Pb contamination during the 1990s and 2000s. The enrichment factors calculation suggests that total anthropogenic pressure within the Eure River watershed since the 1940s was comparable or higher than those in many other French watersheds. An estimation of particulate metal flux in 2017 shows that the Eure River watershed contributed to 7, 8, 9, 10 and 16% of total inputs to the Seine estuary in Cr, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb respectively. Moreover, the estimation of past theoretical flux indicates that during the 1990s the Eure River watershed was the main contributor of particulate Pb to the estuary. The use of Pb isotopes has revealed that this contamination was primarily of industrial origin.Please note that this is an author-produced PDF of an article accepted for publication following peer review.

“…Generally, Pb isotope ratios show that the upper soil horizons are also often dominated by anthropogenic Pb (lower 206 Pb/ 207 Pb ratios), compared with the lower soil horizons (Haack et al 2003; Fernandez et al 2008; Prapaipong et al 2008) and that is the case also in this study. The high proportion of anthropogenic Pb in the upper soil horizon is also evidenced by the simple binary mixing models (Fig.…”

Surroundings of the Legnica Cu smelter (Poland) offer insight into the behavior of Pb and other metal(oid)s in heavily contaminated soils in a relatively simple site, where lithogenic and anthropogenic Pb contributions have uniform Pb isotope composition over the time of smelter activity. Distribution of metal(oid)s decreases asymptotically with depth and below 30 cm reaches concentrations typical or lower than those of upper continental crust. Usually, such distribution is interpreted as the decrease in anthropogenic Pb contribution with depth. However, calculations based on Pb isotopes indicate that anthropogenic Pb is probably distributed both as Pb-rich particles of slags and fly ashes and Pb-poor soil solutions. Generally, anthropogenic Pb constitutes up to 100 % of Pb in the uppermost 10 cm of the soils and comes often from mechanical mixing with slag and fly ash particles as well as their weathering products. On the other hand, lower soil horizon contains anthropogenic Pb in various forms, and at depths below 30 cm, most of anthropogenic Pb comes from soil solutions and can constitute from 1 to 65 % of the Pb budget. This is consistent with secondary electron microscope (SEM) analyses of heavy mineral particles showing that, in upper horizons, Pb, Cu, and Zn are contained in various particles emitted from the smelter, which show different stages of weathering. Currently, large portion of these metals may reside in the secondary Fe-hydro-oxides. On the other hand, in deeper soil horizons, anthropogenic Pb is probably dominated by Pb coming from leaching of slag or fly ash particles. Overall, metal(oid) mobility is a dynamic process and is controlled by the soil type (cultivated versus forest) and the composition and the structure of the metal-rich particles emitted from the smelter. High proportions of anthropogenic Pb at depths below 30 cm in some soil profiles indicate that Pb (and probably other metal(oid)s) can be transported down the soil profile and the present concentration of anthropogenic Pb depends on the availability of binding sites.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s11356-016-7655-4) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…38 Most lead is retained in the organic portion of surface sediments; therefore, contamination by modern pollution is unlikely below approximately 20 cm of soil coverage. 39,40 This has been experimentally supported for archaeological finds. 41 It is a widespread practice in environmental sciences to plot 207 Pb/ 206 Pb versus 208 Pb/ 206 Pb 16,42 because, in this way, the age of a lead ore is represented by the X-axis, and the former U/Th-relation by the Y-axis.…”

“…We have chosen this graphic representation first and plotted the respective lead isotopic ratios in comparison with the "European Standard Lead Pollution (ESLP)" regression line, an isotopic relationship that is typical for all over Europe and serves as "a line of reference for quasi normal European standard lead pollution". 40 For both the animal and the human bones, the relationship of both lead isotopic ratios differs markedly from the ESLP (Figure 2). At the same time, the measured lead isotopic ratios are in total agreement with the geological backgrounds in southern Germany 43 and the Alpine regions.…”
