Abstract
The lead smeltery in Vantaa, Finland, operated during the years 1929–1984. It’s raw materials were primarily lead accumulators and lead scrap leaving as a by-product a waste slag which was partly stored within the smeltery boundaries. The site is situated on an important ground water area and speculators are now planning to use it as a business centre. Ground water samples have been monitored by the local authorities who have found that lead concentrations have not been significant. Earlier soil samples from the surroundings have shown elevated lead concentrations in the top soil.
