Environmental transport and transformation of automotive-emitted lead

W T Piver. Environ Health Perspect. 1977 Aug.

Abstract

The use of a mass balance equation assists in clarifying the contribution of automotive-emitted lead to the regional and global problems of the distribution of this element, by taking into account the physicochemical transformation processes operating on the lead during its transport along the various environmental pathways. The technical factors which govern the emission of such lead from automobile engines and which affect its subsequent dispersion through the environment are described.
