Abstract

Atmospheric concentrations of lead have been measured at two sites in each of two cities in the U.K. (London and Manchester). The results have been used to evaluate the effect of the increasing use of unleaded petrol (gasoline) in motor vehicles. Atmospheric concentrations of lead measured in London were found to be correlated to the U.K. lead in petrol consumption figures. However, a similar correlation was not evident for Manchester indicating the importance of other sources of atmospheric lead. Lead concentrations were correlated between the two cities and a large variation in measured levels illustrates the importance of meteorological effects in determining atmospheric concentration.

英国城市空气中的铅浓度
在英国两个城市(伦敦和曼彻斯特)的两个地点分别测量了大气中铅的浓度。研究结果已被用于评估机动车无铅汽油使用量的增加所产生的影响。在伦敦测量的大气铅浓度被发现与英国汽油消费数据中的铅有关。然而,类似的相关性在曼彻斯特并不明显,这表明大气铅的其他来源的重要性。这两个城市的铅浓度是相关的,测量水平的巨大差异说明了气象影响在确定大气浓度方面的重要性。
