Summary

Abstract The isotopic composition of Pb in fugitive dust suspended by a vehicle from 13 unsurfaced roads in Missouri was measured to identify the source of Pb within an established long-term mining area. A three end member model using 207Pb/206Pb and concentration as tracers resulted in fugitive dust samples plotting in the mixing field of well characterized heterogeneous end members. End members selected for this investigation include the 207Pb/206Pb for 1) a Pb-mixture representing mine tailings, 2) aerosol Pb impacted soils within close proximity to the Buick secondary recycling smelter, and 3) an average of soils, rock cores and drill cuttings representing the background characteristics. Aqua regia total concentrations and 207Pb/206Pb [...]

Purpose

Data are Pb isotope measurements of road dusts and background geologic materials collected in the Viburnum Trend resource extraction area of southeast Missouri and selected non-mining locations. These data were collected to build an apportionment model for understanding the sources of lead contained in road dust.
