摘要
Lead isotope ratios and concentrations have been measured in seawater and marine sediment by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). For seawater, solvent extraction pre-concentration and the use of a micro-concentric nebulizer allowed 1 mi of concentrate to be measured for several minutes to achieve precisions in the range 0.5-1.2% relative standard deviation for Pb-208/Pb-206 and Pb-207/Pb-206. The environmental dispersion of trace amounts of anthropogenic Pb produced distinctive Pb isotope ratio changes in seawater and marine sediments in the immediate vicinity of a Pb-Zn concentrate shipping facility. Concentrate was found to have Pb-208/Pb-206 ratios in the range 2.21-2.25, whereas environmental background Pb-208/Pb-206 ratios were: filtered (<0.45 mu m) seawater, 2.13-2.15; unfiltered seawater, 2.06-2.10; sediment, 2.06-2.09, The combined Pb isotope ratio and concentration measurements by ICP-MS have provided a sensitive and cost effective monitoring tool allowing an unambiguous assessment of the source of Pb, (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
