Abstract

Lead is virtually immobile, does not break down in the environment; if left undisturbed and is a heavy metal that occurs naturally in the Earth’s crust. Lead moves into and throughout ecosystems. Atmospheric lead is deposited in vegetation, ground and water surfaces. Lead bioaccumulation, nondegradability, and the excessive amounts in which they exist, contaminate the food chain and subsequently become a source of toxicity to human beings and the entire ecological function. The chemical and physical properties of lead and the biogeochemical processes within ecosystems will influence the movement of lead through ecosystems.
