- Title
Isotopic Characterization of Six Major Brands of White Basic Lead Carbonate Paint Pigments.

- Abstract
The article reports on the isotopic characterization of six major brands of white basic lead carbonate paint pigments. Much of contemporary American environmental lead contamination and human exposure is the result of the manufacture and use of lead-based paint pigments many decades ago. The ability to identify the manufacturer of a particular pigment would encourage efforts to make the responsible polluter pay for damages and remediation. To this purpose, the researchers sought to isotopically analyze samples of the different brands of basic white lead carbonate. From these samples, a comprehensive picture of the isotopic patterns among would emerge, which might be useful for brand identification.
