摘要: Abstract Vegetation and soil samples collected in 1974 the vicinities of two secondary lead smelters located a large urban area were contaminated with arsenic. Concentrations over 30 times higher than normal background levels arsenic unwashed plant foliage 200 detected within m smelters. However, edible parts from garden crops grown home gardens near contained concentrations. No current contamination was other sources same area, including an expressway, fossil-fuel burning power plant, municipal incinerator, sewage-sludge incinerator storage battery manufacturer. Similarities patterns around absence indicate usefulness as tracer for certain kinds industrial contamination.
