LETTER Lead in the western North Atlantic Ocean: Completed response to leaded gasoline phaseout
Abstract-A 16-year time series of lead concentrations in the western North Atlantic Ocean shows that lead concentrations decreased markedly during the 1980s but that the decline slowed in the 1990s. The decrease during the 1980s can be attributed to the phasing out of leaded gasoline in the United S...
