Abstract
Lead isotope ratios were measured with ICP-MS, using electrothermal va porization for pottery, whole blood and leaded gasoline from residents of a small town in Mexico. Comparison was made of the isotope ratios Pb208/Pb204; Pb207/Pb204 and Pb208/Pb204. in ceramic cookware (pottery ) and leaded gasoline and related whole blood specimens. It is apparen t from the similarity of the two ratios that the predominant source of lead in this population is the ceramicware used for cooking.
