title: The distribution of petrol-derived lead in Israel. Geological Survey of Israel.
abstract: The use of lead in petrol in Israel is described. Results of a soil survey are presented and the distribution of lead in soil, water, air, edible plants and the human organism is reviewed. Soils do not generally show high lead retention. The concentrations of lead in water, air and edible plants are low as is the concentration of lead in blood. A possible source of danger is the use of spent motor oil as a fuel in glass making furnaces.
