Geochemistry, environmental lead

The greatest contribution to our knowledge of the environmental geochemistry of lead was made by Professor C.C. Patterson and his associates at the California Institute of Technology. An entire issue of Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (vol. 58, No. 15, 1994) was devoted to Professor Patterson upon his retirement. The effect of environmental lead on public health was also considered in a major work on medical geochemistry edited by Selmus et al. (2005).
