Lead (Pb) isotopic analyses proved to be a very efficient tool for tracing the sources of local
and global Pb pollution. This review presents an overview of literature published on the use …

For many decades the accurate and precise determination of isotope ratios has remained a
very strong interest to many researchers due to its important applications in earth …

Since the early 1950s, the number of international measurement standards for anchoring
stable isotope delta scales has mushroomed from 3 to more than 30, expanding to more …

Although leaded gasoline was banned at the end of the last century, lead (Pb) remains
significantly enriched in airborne particles in large cities. The remobilization of historical Pb …

The recent development of multiple‐collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry
(MC‐ICP‐MS) and increasing use of the technique have created the need for well …

Multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS) is a powerful
research tool for obtaining accurate and precise isotope amount ratios in a wide range of …

The aim of this study was to improve our understanding of what controls the isotope
composition of Cu, Zn and Pb in particulate matter (PM) in the urban environment and to …

To demonstrate the power of precise isotope ratio measurements of Hg in environmental
samples and, more particularly, to test the use of stable isotopes as distinct tracers of the …

The phasing out of leaded gasoline in many countries around the world at the end of the last
millennium has resulted in a complex mixture of lead sources in the atmosphere. Recent …

Pb pollution has existed for several millennia and remains relevant today. By using peat
cores as environmental archives it is possible to reconstruct this long history on a regional …
