A Watershed-Scale Approach to Tracing Metal Contamination in the Environment - Figure 6

Figure 6. ²⁰⁸Pb / ²⁰⁴Pb distribution profile for labile lead extracted from minus-80-mesh stream sediments plotted as a function of distance from Climax (from Church et al., 1994). The vertical dashes indicate changes in rock lithologies at major lithologic boundaries. Data from the lake core taken from Pueblo Reservoir are shown as a solid triangle; data from stream sediments from Leadville mining district are shown as open squares; data from the sediments from the Arkansas River are shown as solid squares.
