Three centuries of Eastern European and Altai lead emissions
recorded in a Belukha ice core.
Environ. Sci. Technol., 46(8), 4323-4330
DOI: 10.1021/es2039954
Human activities have significantly altered atmospheric Pb
concentrations and thus, its geochemical cycle, for thousands
of years. While historical Pb emissions from Western Europe,
North America, and Asia are well documented, there is no
equivalent data for Eastern Europe. Here we present ice-core
Pb concentrations for the period 1680-1995 from Belukha glacier
in the Siberian Altai, assumed to be representative of emissions
in Eastern Europe and the Altai. Pb concentrations and 207Pb/206Pb
ratios were strongly enhanced during the period 1935-1995 due to
the use of Pb additives in Russian gasoline mined in the Rudny Altai.
Comparable to Western Europe and North America, Eastern European Pb
emissions peaked in the 1970s. However, the subsequent downward
trend in Eastern Europe was mainly caused by the economic crisis
in the U.S.S.R. and not by a phase-out of leaded gasoline.
Pb concentrations in the period 1680-1935, preceding the era
of intensified industrialization in Russia, reflect the history
of local emissions from Rudny Altai mining and related metallurgical
processing primarily for the production of Russian coins. During this
time Altai ore Pb contributed about 40% of the regional atmospheric Pb.
STUDY NOTES: 5-year averages of the Pb concentrations and Pb isotope ratios
from the 2001 Belukha ice core, Siberian Altai (period 1680-1995).
Dating uncertainties are <3 years (AD 1815-1995), or <5 years
(AD 1680-1815). Listed age is the first year of the 5 year
averaging period, e.g. 1680 value is for the period 1680-1684.
