Lead is an element that occurs naturally in the environment. Small amounts of lead can be found in the earth’s crust. Most people know it to be harmful to humans but research shows that it does have some beneficial uses. Lead is found in the air‚ soil‚ water‚ and inside our homes. Much of the exposure that we receive comes from our daily activities‚ such as some types of industrial facilities‚ the use of fossil fuels and past use of lead-based paint in homes. Lead and its compounds have been used

in the atmosphere in recent years has caused the environmental problem we know as acid rain. There are a number of sources of sulfur dioxide. A natural source is volcanic eruptions. Many metals in nature are in a combined form with sulfur. When smelting or roasting refines these ores‚ the sulfur in the metal combines with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide. The biggest source of sulfur dioxide is from burning fossil fuels in industry and in homes. Coal contains .5 percent to 5 percent sulfur. Sulfur
