“…In The Netherlands soils can be polluted with various Pb sources, in which diffuse and local sources can be distinguished. Diffuse Pb sources in The Netherlands include gasoline Pb, incinerator ashes, fertilisers and animal manure (Walraven et al, 2013b). Local Pb sources include residues of Pb bullets and pellets (henceforth referred to as Pb bullets and pellets), car battery Pb, made grounds and city waste (Walraven et al, 1997).…”

“…The selected 28 soil samples were collected in the framework of other studies (see Groot and van Swinderen, 1993;Oomen and Hagens, 2006;Van der Veer, 2006;Walraven et al, 2013b, submitted for publication). These samples were selected because they contain anthropogenic Pb from various (inferred) Pb sources (Pb bullets and pellets, car battery Pb, Gasoline Pb, diffuse Pb, made ground and city waste) and the characteristics of the soils (pH, total Pb, organic matter, clay, calcium carbonate, and reactive iron content) vary considerably.…”

“…Lead polluted soils from The Netherlands were chosen for this study, because The Netherlands is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, with many lead polluted sites. In addition, the regional distribution of Pb in the environment has already been well studied by Walraven et al (1997Walraven et al ( , 2013bWalraven et al ( , 2014a.…”

“…Among the anthropogenic impacts the traffic intensity and vehicles exhaust can be mentioned. The oils and grease are leaked onto road surfaces from car and truck engines and can be carried into lakes and accumulated in lake sediments (Walraven et al 2013). The data presented by Rose et al (2004) suggests that the impact of fossil-fuel combustion sources can be observed within a radius of approximately 60-80 km, thus affecting a large area.…”

Sediments in lakes have been formed under the conditions of sensitive ecosystem functions as historical records of micro-and macrocomponents. Besides others, lake sediments preserve macroremain and chemical evidence reflecting environmental changes and human impact. During the last centuries, sediment composition has been influenced by inconsistent urban and industrial developments. This article presents the multi-proxy data obtained from studies of lake sediment composition, chemical analysis and macroremain signatures in the upper sediment layer from tree small lakes of different origin: Lake Lilaste (lagoonal), Lake Velnezers (glaciokarstic), and Lake Veveri (glacial). The studies of lake sediments revealed that human impact is recognisable in the upper sediment layer of all investigated lakes, but at different depth from the sediment surface. The most recognisable traces of anthropogenic influence can be attributed to the increase of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) concentration, number of plant macroremains and charcoal particles in all investigated lake sediments.

“…Pb isotopes play an important role in tracing various geological processes; for example, the Pb isotopic compositions of rocks and minerals have been applied to distinguish the magma sources from the sources of ore-forming materials during ore deposit formation, the impact of human activities on the environment and lake sediments, and the pollution sources in the atmosphere (Chang et al, 2000;Chang and Zhu, 1997;Chang and Zhu, 2002;Chang et al, 2003;Mil-Homens et al, 2013;Novak et al, 2012;Paul et al, 2014;Walraven et al, 2013a;Walraven et al, 2013b;Walraven et al, 2014a;Walraven et al, 2014b;Wang et al, 2013;Zhang and Wen, 2012;Zhu, 1998;Zhu, 1993;Zhu et al, 2010). In the ore deposit studies, Pb and S isotopes are extensively used for source-area analysis of ore-forming processes (Ding et al, 2013;Hou et al, 2006;Jiang et al, 2006;Zhao et al, 2007).…”

An in-situ microanalysis of Pb isotopic compositions in sulfide minerals is carried out by using femtosecond laser-ablation multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (fsLA-MC-ICP-MS). High-temperature-activated carbon was used to filter Hg contained in the carrier gas, which reduced the Hg background signal by 48% and also lowered the detection limit of the analysis. Fractionation and mass discrimination effects existing in the ICP-MS analytical processes were corrected using an internal reference Tl in conjunction with an external reference NIST SRM 610. The proposed method was used to analyze the Pb isotopic compositions of chalcopyrite, pyrite, and sphalerite from the Dulong Sn-Zn-In polymetallic ore district. The results showed that in this ore district, the sulfide minerals and different grains of the same sulfide mineral show a large variation in Pb content up to 1000-fold. The studied pyrites show relatively higher Pb contents and homogeneous Pb isotopic compositions, whereas the sphalerites have low Pb contents but most variable Pb isotopic compositions. It is suggested that the large variation of Pb isotopic composition may reflect a late hydrothermal superimposition on the primary sulfide formation. In addition, radiogenic Pb accumulated by radioactive decay of trace amounts of U over time in the host minerals may also be one of the causes for the large variation range of Pb content and Pb isotopic composition of those low-Pb sphalerites. Chalcopyrite and sphalerite grains with Pb content greater than 10 ppm presented a consistent Pb isotopic distribution, whereas all the sulfide grains with Pb content greater than 100 ppm had consistent Pb isotopic composition within 2s measurement uncertainties. The in-situ analysis of Pb isotopic composition agreed well with the results obtained by conventional chemical methods within 2s measurement uncertainties, indicating that the data obtained by fsLA-MC-ICP-MS are reliable. Additionally, this study indicates that the Pb isotopic composition could truthfully record the source of ore-forming minerals only for sulfide minerals with high Pb content. On the contrary, the Pb isotopic composition of low-Pb sulfide minerals may be affected by trace amounts of U in the host minerals that may lead to a highly radiogenic Pb isotope ratio. Alternatively, it is also possible that late fluid metasomatic overprinting may alter the Pb isotopic compositions. femtosecond laser ablation, MC-ICP-MS, lead isotopes, lead concentration, sulfide Citation:Yuan H L, Yin C, Liu X, et al. 2015.
