Lead and Cadmium Interactions with Mackinawite: Retention Mechanisms and the Role of pH
Article Abstract:
Toxic metals like lead and cadmium form on the surface of mackinawite, a reactive iron sulfide. This happens in two ways-first via an ion exchange that displaces Fe, also through surface adsorption. The study shows that mackinawite has a strong ability to scavenge trace metals, thus can be used for this purpose in aquatic sediments.

Lead isotope systematics in polytrichum formosum: an example from a biomonitoring field study with mosses
Article Abstract:
Researchers attempted to identify different sources of lead pollution by examining lead isotope ratios. An increase in the Pb isotope ratio is attributed to a reduction of lead atmospheric inputs from petrol.
