This study assessed the spatial distribution and drivers of lead (Pb) concentration in inland waters worldwide by analyzing 1790 observations collected from 386 independent publications. The results showed that Pb concentration in inland waters was mainly driven by potential evapotranspiration, elevation, road density, and absolute latitude.
Water bodies are important carriers for lead (Pb) biogeochemical cycling, which is a key pathway of Pb transport. Although existing studies on Pb loading in inland waters have developed rapidly, a quantitative assessment of the distribution patterns and drivers of Pb concentration in inland waters at the global scale remains unclear. Here, by analyzing 1790 observations collected from 386 independent publications, we assessed the spatial distribution and drivers of Pb concentration in inland waters worldwide. We found that (1) globally, the median of Pb concentration in inland waters was 5.81 & mu;g L-1; (2) among different inland water types, Pb concentration was higher in rivers, and the highest Pb concentration was in industrial land in terms of land use type; (3) Pb con-centration in inland waters were positively driven by potential evapotranspiration, elevation and road density; and (4) Pb concentration showed a negative relationship with absolute latitude, decreasing from tropic to boreal regions. Overall, our global assessment of the patterns and drivers of Pb concentration in inland waters contributed to a better understanding of the natural and anthropogenic attributions of Pb in the inland hydro-logical cycling.
