Lead-containing particles on urban leaf surfaces
Journal Article

· Environ. Sci. Technol.; (United States)
London plane tree (Platanus acerifolia (Ait.) Willd.) leaf samples collected from an urban environment were examined with an electron microanalyzer and electron microscope equipped with an energy-dispersive x-ray analyzer. Lead-containing aerosol particles found upon these leaves contained no detectable chlorine or bromine. The lead appeared to be associated with sulfur and phosphorus in the form of lead sulfate and lead orthophosphate.
