The natural background concentration of lead (Pb) in soils in the United States ranges from 10 to 700 ppm, with an average of 20 ppm (Demayo et al., 1982). However, as a result of anthropogenic activities, soils may be contaminated with elevated levels of Pb. For example, gasoline combustion releases Pb into the atmosphere, and this Pb can be deposited· onto roadside soils. 1,225 ppm Pb ~s note...
