Journal ArticleDOI
History of Atmospheric Lead Deposition Since 12,370 14C yr BP from a Peat Bog, Jura Mountains, Switzerland
William Shotyk,Dominik J. Weiss,Peter G. Appleby,A. Cheburkin,Robert Frei,M. Gloor,Jan Kramers,S. Reese,W.O. van der Knaap +8 more
TL;DR: A continuous record of atmospheric lead since 12,370 carbon-14 years before the present (14C yr BP) is preserved in a Swiss peat bog, indicating the beginning of lead pollution from mining and smelting, and anthropogenic sources have dominated lead emissions ever since.

TL;DR: The greatest lead sux (15.7 milligrams persquare meter per year in A.D. 1979) was 1570 times the natural, backgroundvalue (0.01 milligram per square meters per year from 8030 to 5320.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atmospheric Pb Deposition since the Industrial Revolution Recorded by Five Swiss Peat Profiles: Enrichment Factors, Fluxes, Isotopic Composition, and Sources
TL;DR: In this paper, atmospheric Pb deposition since the Industrial Revolution was studied in western, central, and southern Switzerland using five rural peat bogs, and two distinct periods of Pb enrichment relative to the natural background were found in western and central Switzerland, with enrichments ranging from 40 to 80 times, and between 1960 and 1980 with enrichment values ranging from 80 to 100 times.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geochemistry of the peat bog at Etang de la Gruère, Jura Mountains, Switzerland, and its record of atmospheric Pb and lithogenic trace metals (Sc, Ti, Y, Zr, and REE) since 12,370 14 C yr BP
TL;DR: In this article, a peat core from a Swiss bog represents 12,370 14C years of peat accumulation and provides the first complete record of atmospheric Pb deposition for the entire Holocene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atmospheric Pb deposition in Spain during the last 4600 years recorded by two ombrotrophic peat bogs and implications for the use of peat as archive.

TL;DR: The results suggest that normalising to crustal proportions is meaningless when the bulk of the deposition in an area is strongly influenced by short- and medium-range dust transport, and that the growing importance of nonradiogenic Pb released from Iberian ores by ancient mining should be considered.
