This bibliography brings together a wide range of material on the problem of environmental lead pollution from motor vehicles published during 1974–1986. It includes research and surveys from a number of countries and covers the effects of exhaust gas lead on humans, including children.
Much of the convenience of modern life resides in sheet metal, the cowling shield of most machines and appliances. However, the load that this takes off human shoulders has to be carried elsewhere, and the Earth has borne the burden. Many of us woke up to the environmental cost when over a century of industrialization finally surpassed the capacity
The discovery in 1922 of the exceptional effectiveness of tetraethyllead in suppressing knock in the combustion of gasoline in engines and its introduction as a gasoline additive in 1923 stimulated an enormous number of studies on procedures for its synthesis and industrial production, on its behavior and uses, and also on the toxicology of this compound and on its environmental impact resulting from large scale lead distribution. The results of these investigations are collected in more than 3000 papers and patents. The quantity of information on this prominent compound fills the second volume of the series on organo lead compounds. Complete literature coverage was strived for but not all of the voluminous patent data have been considered. Certain publications on production of tetraethyllead or on use as a gasoline additive that are not reported in Chemical Abstracts (C.A.) may not have been found; similarly, publications that could not be clearly identified as relevant to the subject might be missing. Publications concerning the fate of inorganic lead compounds that are products of the combustion of leaded gasoline as weil as the vast amount of related papers on analytical and toxicological studies and on health and environmental aspects have been deliberately omitted. The literature is covered through 1988; C.A. has been evaluated through volume 110 of 1989.
Selected papers from the Third Hans Wolfgang Nurnberg Memorial Workshop on Toxic Metal Compounds, Follinica, Italy, April 1988. The workshop discussed the gaps between chemistry and biology, and the topics covered include: the analytical chemistry and speciation of air particulates, water, sediments, soils, and of food and tissue; uptake by plants, mosses, and lichens, including biomonitoring techniques; and the uptake and biological effects of chromium, nickel, cadmium, and aluminum compounds. the papers were first published in issues of Toxicological and environmental chemistry and International journal of environmental analytical chemistry.

This publication, the first of its kind, draws together a vast amount of research from the 1980s in the form of 1,768 cross-referenced abstracts, derived from a systematic search of around forty periodicals and supplemented by the Centre for Urban Ecology's own knowledge of publications in this area. Studies summarized range from complex, multidisciplinary works aimed at integrating urban ecological knowledge in urban areas, through to the observations of amateur naturalists.
Papers presented at the National Seminar on Automobile Pollution, held at Kota.
