Abstract: | Sediments from Guanabara Bay and two rivers were analyzed for Pb isotope composition. The results define linear groups interpreted as different sources of Pb. The samples from Iriri and Surui rivers present different Pb compositions probably resulting from two active pollutants which are transported in the waters to the Guanabara Bay, where they are mixed. The 206Pb/207Pb values of 1.151 and 1.091 presented here are in the range of Brazilian galena ore signature. |
