“…A discrimination between different sources of lead exposure of the roe deer, e.g. motor traffic and iron-and steelworks, could be undertaken based on the determination of stable Pb isotope ratios in the antler bone (Å berg et al 1999;Å berg 2001;Scheuhammer et al 2003).…”

In order to assess temporal changes in ambient lead levels, Pb concentrations were determined in roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) antlers (n=116) that had been collected in the industrialized area of Siegen (western Germany) in the period 1948-2000. Lead concentrations ranged between 0.3 and 166.3 mg/kg dry weight. An overall decline in antler Pb concentration occurred from the mid-1970s onward, and lead concentrations in the samples from the periods 1980-1989 and 1990-2000 were significantly lower than those in samples from previous periods. Our findings indicate a marked decline in lead exposure of the roe deer inhabiting the study area in the recent past. This decline is attributed to a decrease in atmospheric lead deposition, caused mainly by the phase-out of leaded gasoline, and, in addition, by a reduction of lead emissions from stationary sources. The results of the present study and of previous investigations demonstrate that analysis of antler samples obtained in an area over a certain period can be used to reconstruct temporal changes in environmental lead levels.

“…Furthermore, the wear of auto tires, degradation of parts and greases, peeling paint and metals in catalysts are all suspected as sources of heavy metal pollution (Sadiq et al, 1989;Wei and Morrison, 1994;Åberg et al, 1999;Monaci et al, 2000;Pecheyran et al, 2000).…”

As, Sb and Hg distribution and pollution sources in the roadside soil and dust around Kamikochi, Chubu Sangaku National Park, Japan

In order to assess the effect of "overuse" in natural parks, roadside soil and dusts were collected from Kamikochi, Chubu Sangaku National Park (Kamikochi) to Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. Also, the concentrations of As, Sb, Hg and 5 other heavy metals (Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb) were measured. The higher concentrations of these 8 elements were observed at Kamikochi Bus Terminal, Kama Tunnel, Matsumoto Interchange and the east exit of Matsumoto Station. These 4 sites are strongly affected by the presence of automobiles, which is believed to be responsible for the higher concentrations. Moreover, the concentrations were increased in the summer, probably due to the corresponding traffic volume, related to the tourist season. Many significant positive correlations among the 8 element concentrations were found as well. The information above suggested that As, Sb and Hg distributions are closely related to automobiles, which play an important role in transportation of visitors, meaning the anthropogenic pollution.

“…Both the successful and the unsuccessful applications of Pb dendrochemistry were reviewed by Watmough (1999). The usefulness of Pb dendrochemistry has been advocated by Aberg et al (1999), Watmough et al (1999a,c), Tommasini et al (2000), Bellis et al (2002), Savard et al (2006), and Mihaljevic et al (2008). In contrast, Hagemeyer and Schafer (1995), Hagemeyer and Weinard (1996), Hagemeyer and Hubner (1999), Nabais et al (1999), and Bindler et al (2004) have stressed discrepancies between tree-ring data and various other Pb archives.…”
