Hi Trevor, I've a few suggestions. You could try the Journal of Water, Air and Soil Pollution, or the Journal of Environmental monitoring or Geochemistry: Exploration, Environment. Alot of the papers I have are to do with fairly ancient smelting, and evidence in peat bogs etc, which I think is not what you are looking for. But there have been international conferences on Heavy metals in the Environment. From Volume 2 of the proceedings, 1995, I have a paper on Factors controlling the release of heavy metals from historical smelting slags, Gee, Maskall, Ramsey, Thornton. By the same authors, The distribution of metals is slags and soils at historical smelting sites: a mass balanace approach, geoenvironmental engineering, published by Thomas Telford, London, 1997. Same authors, Journal of geochemical exploration, vol 58,1997, Mineralogy and weathering processes in historical smelting slag and their effect on the mobilisation of lead. Argyraki, Ramsey and Potts. 1997, Analyst vol 122, Evaluation of portable X-ray Fluorescence Instrumentation for in situ measurements of lead on contaminated land. Alot of these I think are on slag breakdown rather than the distribution of lead from gas plumes but it should give you some pointers to further references and more recent work. Good luck and best to Patty, Sarah ________________________________ From: Arch-Metals Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Trevor Sent: 11 October 2012 00:14 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Historic Metaliferous Fallout from Smelters Dear List, I have spent the day using several search engines and ETHoS looking for papers and/or thesis on the above subject. I have drawn a blank! My particular interest is in the oxidised metallic fallout from the chimneys of historic smelters, particularly those smelters engaged in the smelting of minerals other than iron, and in particular historic smelters which were sited in the bottom of steep sided valleys.
