ABSTRACTThe lead isotope compositions of 61 galenas from central and southern Scotland vary markedly between different regions. Most galenas from the southern Grampian Highlands yield isotope ratios (206Pb/204Pb 17·77 ± 0·25, 207Pb/204Pb 15·47 ± 0·05, 208Pb/204Pb 37·63 ± 0·26) less radiogenic than those from Midland Valley galenas (18·22 ± 0·12, 15·55 ± 0·05, 38·13 ± 0·14) whilst galena lead from the Southern Uplands (18·28 ± 0·12, 15·56 ± 0·03, 38·21 ± 0·18) is more radiogenic than that from the southern Midland Valley (18·12 ± 0·06, 15·52 ± 0·02, 38·06 ±0·10). The change in isotopie composition across the Highland Boundary fault reflects the presence or absence of Dalradian rocks which included a magmatic component of lead. Galenas from the Dalradian sequence in Islay, where igneous rocks are lacking, have a composition (18·14±0·04, 15·51±0·01, 37·90±0·02) more like Midland Valley galenas. In the Southern Uplands, galenas yield lead isotope ratios similar to those of feldspars from Caledonian granite (18·30 ± 0·14, 15·57 ± 0·04, 37·96 ± 0·15) analysed by Blaxland et al. (1979). The similar ratios reflect the incorporation of Lower Palaeozoic sedimentary rocks into the granite magma, rather than a granitic source for the mineralisation. The granites were then thermal-structural foci for later mineralising fluids which leached metals from the surrounding rocks. Within the Midland Valley, galenas hosted in Lower Devonian-Lower Carboniferous lavas are notably more radiogenic (18·31 ±0·12, 15·58 ± 0·06, 38·20 ± 0·16) than sediment-hosted galenas (18·14 ± 0·07, 15·52 ± 0·02, 38·08 ± 0·10). The Devonian lavas at least may have inherited lead from subducted (? Lower Palaeozoic) rock incorporated in the primary magma.

This work analyses lead concentrations and isotope ratios 204Pb,206Pb,207Pb,208Pb, determined by leaching and total dissolution techniques from surface bottom sediment samples collected in the western sector of Sepetiba Bay, Rio de Janeiro (SE Brazil). The main aim of this work was to identify possible sources of Pb, particularly those related to anthropogenic activities for the study area located in the external region of this bay. Isotope ratios of 206Pb, 207Pb ranged from 1.160 to 1.259 for the total dissolution technique and from 1.175 to 1.188 for the leaching technique. The Pb isotope signature of the surface sediments of the western sector of Sepetiba Bay were compared with that obtained in other studies performed in Sepetiba Bay, including records of pre- and pos-industrial activity, and in other Brazilian regions. The isotope signature of the analyzed sediments in the western sector of Sepetiba Bay is similar to that obtained in previous works realized in the eastern and northeastern internal region of this bay which is under strong urbanization and industrial pressure. The results of Pb isotope signature obtained by the integrated use of total dissolution and leaching techniques allowed to trace the presence of sediments dredged from highly contaminated areas located in the eastern and north-eastern internal region of Sepetiba Bay probably as a consequence of dredging activities and natural processes of sediment dispersion. IMPACTOS ANTROPOGÊNICOS NO SETOR OESTE DA BAÍA DE SEPETIBA (SE DO BRASIL) ACESSADOS PELA COMPOSIÇÃO ISOTÓPICA DE PB DE SEDIMENTOS SUPERFÍCIAIS ResumoEste trabalho analisa as concentrações de chumbo (Pb) e isótopos de Pb (204Pb, 206Pb, 207Pb, 208Pb) determinados por técnicas de lixiviação e dissolução total de amostras de sedimentos de fundo, coletadas no setor oeste (região externa) da Baía de Sepetiba, no Rio de Janeiro (SE Brasil). O principal objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar possíveis fontes de Pb, principalmente aquelas relacionadas a atividades antropogênicas na área de estudo. A assinatura do isótopo Pb dos sedimentos analisados foi comparada com os dados obtidos em outros estudos realizados na Baía de Sepetiba e em outras regiões brasileiras, incluindo registros de atividade pré e pós-industrial. Na região externa da Baía de Sepetiba, os valores de 206Pb/207Pb variaram de 1.160 a 1.259 para a técnica de dissolução total e de 1.175 a 1.188 para a técnica de lixiviação. A assinatura isotópica dos sedimentos analisados é semelhante à obtida em trabalhos anteriores realizados na região interna leste e nordeste desta baía, que está sob forte influência da urbanização e pressão industrial. Os resultados da assinatura dos isótopos de Pb obtidos pelo uso integrado das técnicas de dissolução total e lixiviação permitiram rastrear, no setor oeste (região externa) da Baía de Sepetiba, a presença de sedimentos provinientes de áreas altamente contaminadas localizadas na região interna leste e nordeste da baía de Sepetiba, provavelmente como conseqüência das atividades de dragagem e processos naturais de dispersão de sedimentos. Palavras-chave: Isótopos de Pb.
