Question 4:  How do conditions in the environment (i.e. temperature, light, weather, soil type) affect lead and its bio-availability?

This section should include:

Question 5: What is the persistence of lead in the environment?
This section should include:
  • a summary of how long lead is available for human/animal exposure in the soil, water, and air.
Question 6: How does lead move in the environment (i.e. in ground and surface water, stuck on small particles, in plants and animals)?

This section should include:

  • a summary of how lead is transported and where it is retained in the living and non-living components of the environment.
