In the case of lead pipes, simple oxidative corrosion of the metal forms a coating of lead carbonate on the inside wall of the pipe. As shown in theoretical and empirical studies, the lead solubility (maximum lead concentration) is a function of water characteristics, mainly pH, alkalinity and temperature, as well as, eventually, orthophosphate concentration (Sheiham and Jackson, 1981 Kuch and Wagner, 1983 Van den Hoven, 1986 Schock, 1989,1990,1994 Wagner, 1992 Leroy, 1993). Fora given alkalinity, lead solubility decreases when pH increases. Theoretical lead solubility varies between several mg/1 for very soft waters with low pH (alkalinity < 30 mg/1 CaCOs and pH < 6.5) to less than 100 pg/1 in waters with alkalinity between 50 and 150 mg/1 CaCOs and pH above 8. 

Sulphuric acid (unless perfectly anhydrous) does not dissolve lead, due to the insoluble lead sulphate coating. Lead is widely used for handling sulphuric acid, and is unattacked even by concentrated acid below 200°C. 

In one case study of law enforcement trainees described in a recent NIOSH Alert, blood lead levels at an Indoor firing range rose from a pre-training mean of 6.5 pg/dl to 50.4 pg/dl post training. Mean airborne lead concentrations were more than 40 times the OSHA permissible exposure limit. After changes were made to the ventilation system, airborne lead concentrations dropped below detectable levels. In addition, using ammunition that had nylon-coated and copper-jacketed bullets substantially reduced (94 - 97 percent) airborne lead concentrations. (Photo CDC)... 

Airborne lead concentrations were reduced substantially (94 to 97 percent) by using ammunition that had nylon-coated and copper-jacketed bullets. 

In the study of many terrestrial plants it was found that lead existed as a topical dust coating, fifty percent of which could be removed by a simple water washing [61]. The total lead concentration of each plant was found to increase with traffic volume and decrease with distance from the highway [49], Because atmospheric lead is of great importance to total lead concentration in plants, surface to volume ratio is important in the topical lead coating of plants. Differences in internal lead concentrations in plants are due to the unique physiology of each species [16]. 

GVD Coatings. As in PVD, the stmcture of the deposited material depends on the temperature and supersaturation, roughly as pictured in Figure 8 (12). In the case of CVD, however, the effective supersaturation, ie, the local effective concentration in the gas phase of the materials to be deposited, relative to its equiUbrium concentration, depends not only on concentration, but on temperature. The reaction is thermally activated. Because the effective supersaturation for thermally activated reactions increases with temperature, the opposing tendencies can lead in some cases to a reversal of the sequence of crystalline forms Hsted in Figure 8, as temperature is increased (12). 

Fracture mechanics (qv) affect adhesion. Fractures can result from imperfections in a coating film which act to concentrate stresses. In some cases, stress concentration results in the propagation of a crack through the film, leading to cohesive failure with less total stress appHcation. Propagating cracks can proceed to the coating/substrate interface, then the coating may peel off the interface, which may require much less force than a normal force pull would require. 

Conventional nitrocellulose lacquer finishing leads to the emission of large quantities of solvents into the atmosphere. An ingeneous approach to reducing VOC emissions is the use of supercritical carbon dioxide as a component of the solvent mixture (172). The critical temperature and pressure of CO2 are 31.3°C and 7.4 MPa (72.9 atm), respectively. Below that temperature and above that pressure, CO2 is a supercritical fluid. It has been found that under these conditions, the solvency properties of CO2 ate similar to aromatic hydrocarbons (see Supercritical fluids). The coating is shipped in a concentrated form, then metered with supercritical CO2 into a proportioning airless spray gun system in such a ratio as to reduce the viscosity to the level needed for proper atomization. VOC emission reductions of 50% or more are projected. 

The final factor influencing the stabiHty of these three-phase emulsions is probably the most important one. Small changes in emulsifier concentration lead to drastic changes in the amounts of the three phases. As an example, consider the points A to C in Figure 16. At point A, with 2% emulsifier, 49% water, and 49% aqueous phase, 50% oil and 50% aqueous phase are the only phases present. At point B the emulsifier concentration has been increased to 4%. Now the oil phase constitutes 47% of the total and the aqueous phase is reduced to 29% the remaining 24% is a Hquid crystalline phase. The importance of these numbers is best perceived by a calculation of thickness of the protective layer of the emulsifier (point A) and of the Hquid crystal (point B). The added surfactant, which at 2% would add a protective film of only 0.07 p.m to emulsion droplets of 5 p.m if all of it were adsorbed, has now been transformed to 24% of a viscous phase. This phase would form a very viscous film 0.85 p.m thick. The protective coating is more than 10 times thicker than one from the surfactant alone because the thick viscous film contains only 7% emulsifier the rest is 75% water and 18% oil. At point C, the aqueous phase has now disappeared, and the entire emulsion consists of 42.3% oil and 57.5% Hquid crystalline phase. The stabilizing phase is now the principal part of the emulsion. 

In strong sunlight, water can evaporate at defects in coatings and surface films, and lead to concentration and crystallization of salts (e.g., in the upper decks of the ship). This can damage surface films, giving rise to local anodes. This is the case when a ship slowly rises in the water on unloading and is later reimmersed on loading. 

Static sampling systems are defined as those that do not have an active air-moving component, such as the pump, to pull a sample to the collection medium. This type of sampling system has been used for over 100 years. Examples include the lead peroxide candle used to detect the presence of SO2 in the atmosphere and the dust-fall bucket and trays or slides coated with a viscous material used to detect particulate matter. This type of system suffers from inability to quantify the amount of pollutant present over a short period of time, i.e., less than 1 week. The potentially desirable characteristics of a static sampling system have led to further developments in this type of technology to provide quantitative information on pollutant concentrations over a fked period of time. Static sampling systems have been developed for use in the occupational environment and are also used to measure the exposure levels in the general community, e.g., radon gas in residences.
