12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Environmental Fate
Lead is very persistent in soil and sediments. No data on environmental degradation. Mobility of
metallic lead between ecological compartments is slow. Bioaccumulation of lead occurs in aquatic
and terrestrial animals and plants but little bioaccumulation occurs through the food chain. Most
studies include lead compounds and not elemental lead
Ecotoxicity
Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. However, no ecological impacts expected under
normal use conditions.
