“…Such uses include tracing metal contamination sources/pathways, studying biological processes (nutrient and anthropogenic uptakes/cycles, within plant transport mechanisms), 1 remediation and geographical provenance. [2][3][4][5] Variability in the isotopic composition of radiogenic elements, e.g. lead (Pb), strontium (Sr) and osmium (Os), has been frequently utilized in environmental studies [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] and application niches continue to grow.…”

“…Different beet and cane sugar products (cane sugar plants, maple syrup, crude and syrup juices, molasses, the end products of consumer sugar) have been investigated and assessed chemometrically in aspect of the mineral composition by several authors, e.g. Awadallah et al [254], Nunes et al [255], Rodushkin et al [256], Grembecka and Szefer [257], Barbosa et al [258], Andrade et al [259] and Guedes and Pereira [260]. Different ingredients such as sugarcane, soy, citrus, coffee, maize, eucalyptus, mango, bean, banana, lettuce, brachiaria, pearl millet, grape, rubber tree and tomato were analysed by de Carvalho et al [261].…”

“…Other lead isotopic composition measurements include the preceding studies of lead contamination in dandelions and chocolate . There have also been reports on lead isotopic compositions of fruits and vegetables, − cane and sugar beets, maize, wheat, , rice, honey, , finfish, shellfish, − tea, cocoa, vinegar, and alcoholic beverages other than wine . In addition, there has been a surprisingly disproportionate number of reports on lead isotopic compositions of wine. − …”

California's Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) was designed to protect the state's populace from exposures to toxic levels of chemicals in consumer products, including foods, by requiring businesses to warn the public about any of those hazards. There is, however, one qualification in the legislation, which is that warnings are not required if the source of that contamination is natural, as opposed to industrial. That qualification is especially problematic for lead because "natural" and "industrial" lead have a common origin and behave the same in the environment and industrial lead contamination has been pandemic for millennia. As a result of that historic and ongoing contamination, ambient lead levels in the biosphere may be orders of magnitude above natural levels, limiting comparisons of "natural" versus "industrial" lead concentrations in products. Further complicating those comparisons are reports of erroneously high measurements of lead concentrations in the biosphere as a result of sample contamination during collection, storage, and analysis. Some of those problems may be addressed with measurements of lead concentrations using rigorous trace metal clean techniques. These techniques often yield lead concentrations that are below the Act's maximum exposure in foods and non-foods of 0.5 μg/day, eliminating the need for a public alert. Those techniques have also been used to derive natural lead concentrations in a few organisms (marine fish, humans, rats, and dandelions), which range from 2-to 100-fold below ambient levels. However, extrapolating from those few determinations to establish natural lead levels in other organisms is complicated and often inappropriate. Complementary stable lead isotopic composition measurements have also been used to estimate the percent of natural and industrial lead in some consumer products, including foods, wine, and dietary supplements. These measurements, however, require the isotopic compositions of both the "natural" and "industrial" lead end members, which may be poorly defined. In addition, the global market has further complicated identification of the "industrial" lead end member, because lead contamination of foods can occur during production, harvesting, storage, shipping, processing, and packaging, which can happen in different locales within a country, different countries, and even different continents.
