Although small arms ranges are known to be contaminated with lead, the full extent of metal contamination has not been described, nor has the oral bioavailability of lead in these soils. In this work, soil samples from ranges with diverse geochemical backgrounds were sieved to 250 microns and analyzed for total metal content. Soils had consistently high levels of lead and copper, ranging from 4549 to 24,484 micrograms/g and 223 ...
