Lead is a naturally occurring metal found in the environment as well as manufactured in products. The major source of this metal has historically been fuels in on-road motor vehicles such as cars and trucks, and industrial sources.
Both naturally occurring in the environment and used in manufactured goods are the metal lead. In the past, industrial sources and fuels used in on-road motor vehicles (such as cars and trucks) have been the main sources of lead emissions. Lead emissions from the transportation industry rapidly reduced by 95% between 1980 and 1999 thanks to regulatory measures in the U.S. to remove lead from gasoline for on-road motor vehicles, while lead levels in the air decreased by 94% over the same period. The areas closest to lead smelters typically have the greatest airborne lead concentrations today. Today, the processing of ores and metals as well as piston-engine aircraft using leaded aviation gasoline are the main sources of lead emissions into the atmosphere.
