Field Investigation Team
The Field Investigation Team - investigate questions concerning the Occurrence, Fate and Transport of lead. Responsible for Part I (individually) and Part II (group). You will need to complete Part I before moving on to Part II.
- Read about each of the five incidences in Ramford County and then come back here and answer Part I: The probable causes of the five incidents. Each member is responsible for answers to the questions of each incident in Part I. You will submit these to your President / CEO.
- After answering
Part I, you will complete Part
II as a team: The extent of the potential
lead problem in Ramford County. Upon
completion of Part I your President / CEO
will send you a password to obtain access to the
resources for Part II. Your Project Manager will
compile this report and send it to your President
/ CEO.

1. What are the sources of lead (e.g. point, non point, historical)?
2. What are the concentrations of lead in the air, surface and ground water, soil, and other media?
3. How does lead interact with the environment (i.e. solubility, volatility)?
4. How do conditions in the environment (i.e. temperature, light, weather, soil type) affect lead and its bio-availability?
5. What is the persistence of lead in the environment?
6. How does lead move in the environment (i.e. in ground and surface water, stuck on small particles, in plants and animals)?
7. Where are high concentrations of lead likely to be found (i.e. inside houses and work places, surface water, drinking water, food)?
8. Can the areas with high concentrations be predicted?
