Lead contamination in shooting range soils from abrasion of lead bullets and subsequent weathering.
Contamination of shooting range soils from the use of Pb bullets is under increasing scrutiny. Past research on Pb contamination of shooting ranges has focused on weathering reactions of Pb bullets in soil. The objective of this study was to determine the significance of abrasion of Pb bullets in contributing to soil Pb contamination. This was accomplished by firing a known mass of bullets into...
متن کاملCharacterization of Lead in Soils of a Rifle/Pistol Shooting Range in Central Florida, USA
The distribution of lead in soil samples collected from both surface (0 to 10 cm) and profile (0 0 to 10 cm, E 11 to 30 cm, Eb 31 to 50 crn, Bw 51 to 100 cm, and C 181 to 200 cm) at a 14-year-old rifle/pistol shooting range located in central Florida were determined using EPA Method 3051a (microwave, HNO/HCI=3:1, v/v). In addition to total lead analysis, Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedu...
متن کاملSurface water transport of lead at a shooting range.
Lead, one of the earliest metals recognized and used by humans, has a long history of beneficial use to humankind, but has now been recognized as toxic and as posing a widespread threat to humans and wildlife. The adequacy and widespread nature of lead ores (primarily in the forms of the carbonate cerussite, PbCO3, and the sulfide, galena, PbS, combined with its ease of extraction have resulted...
متن کاملPb pollution in soils from a trap shooting range and the phytoremediation ability of Agrostis capillaris L.
Pb pollution caused by shooting sport activities is a serious environmental problem that has increased considerably in recent decades. The aims of this study were firstly to analyze Pb pollution in soils from a trap shooting range abandoned in 1999, secondly to study the effectiveness of different extractants [CaCl2, DTPA, NH4OAc, low molecular weight organic acids (LMWOA), and bidistilled wate...
