Testing Soil for Lead Contamination

Description

Lead contamination in soil can be measured with atomic absorption spectroscopy. Lead is a naturally occurring element in soil, usually at 10 to 50 ppm. But soil near old paint, gasoline use, or industrial pollution can contain much higher levels. In some urban areas, lead can reach 10,000 ppm.

Le...

Transcript

Die weit verbreitete Verwendung von Farben und Benzin sowie die industrielle Kontamination haben zu erhöhten Bleiwerten im städtischen Boden geführt, was zu gesundheitlichen Problemen führen kann.

Blei kommt natürlicherweise in Böden in Konzentrationen von 10 bis 50 Teilen pro Million oder ppm vor. Kontaminierte städtische Böden weisen je...
