Abstract
⺠We measure Pb/Ca ratios in Arctica islandica shells from three sites in the North Atlantic. ⺠We provide centennial records of lead pollution and discuss location specific lead sources. ⺠Lead concentrations in the Icelandic shell reflect natural influxes of lead into Icelandic waters. ⺠In comparison, the lead profile of the US shell is driven by anthropogenic lead emissions. ⺠In contrast, the lead profile of the European shell is dominantly driven by local sources of lead.
