Abstract

Successful production of 203Pb radioisotope with the proton beam of the Milan AVF cyclotron has made possible to start a wide range research program on pathway and effects of lead pollution. Irradiation and radiochemical separation techniques are described in some detail together with the synthesis of 203Pb tetraethyl. Applications to environmental problems carried out so far include chemical biological and biochemical studies. Preliminary results and the relevant experimental details are reported concerning lead uptake by different biological systems, and the distribution of lead in the air.
