| Contents Notes |
Analyzed metals concentrations in soils, stream sediments, and estuarine sediments in Oahu. Found correlations between the timing of lead concentration increases and decreases and the use and phase-out of lead in gasoline. Identified a correlation between zinc and cadmium concentration increases and the increased use of vulcanized rubber (which contains these two metals) in tires. Used isotope analysis of lead to "fingerprint" anthropogenic lead. Identified air deposition as a contributor to anthropogenic lead loadings. |
