Natural differences in lead isotopic compositions in geological formations persist after the lead has been extracted and processed as industrial lead. This occurs because there is no measurable biological, chemical, or physical fractionation of lead isotopes either in the environment or in industrial processes (Barnes et al. 1978 Flegal and Stukas 1987 Russell and Farquhar 1960). Although stable lead isotopic compositions may vary naturally by as much as 10%-15%, they generally vary less than that.
