The result reveals in- creasing Pb concentrations from 1955 to 1993, with two Pb concentration peaks in 1980 and 1993. After 1993, Pb concentrations in ice core show an obvi- ously declining trend. Analysis shows that the lead in the Muztagata ice core mainly came from anthropo- genic emissions from countries in Central Asia, while the local emission had little contribution.展开更多
