Inorganic Contaminants of Surface Water

Part of the book series: Springer Series on Environmental Management ((SSEM))

Abstract

Lead is the 36th most abundant element in the earth’s crust, with an average concentration of 15 mg/kg. Although found in over 200 minerals, lead is concentrated (30 to 80 g/kg) in galena (PbS), gelesite (PbSO4), and cerrusite (PbCO3). The input of anthropogenically derived lead to the environment now outweighs all natural sources, and is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future.
