Research Findings

During the past 7 years, the National Science Foundation-Research Applied to National Needs (R. A. N. N.) programme has supported extensive interdisciplinary research concerned with Pb, Cd and other hazardous trace metals. Various aspects of geochemistry and pollution research at the universities of Missouri, Illinois, Colorado State and Purdue are presented and summarized. The transport, pathways and distribution of Pb, Cd and other trace metals are discussed and the utilization of research findings by government and state agencies for the development of standards and by industries for pollution control are presented.
