• The lead and copper rule: Limitations and lessons learned from Newark, New Jersey

  Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews Water · 2022-10-11 · 12 citations

  articleOpen access

  Flint, Michigan reignited the public discourse surrounding lead contamination in drinking water with Newark, New Jersey recently experiencing its own lead-in-water crisis. Following Flint's experience, the Environmental Protection Agency proposed changes to the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR), but these changes may not produce better detection of contamination. LCR testing requirements were evaluated for their ability to predict or identify problems from the recent (2015-2019) Newark lead exceedance…

• A review of mantle xenoliths in volcanic rocks from southern Victoria Land, Antarctica

  Geological Society London Memoirs · 2021-05-05 · 11 citations

  reviewOpen access

  Abstract Mantle xenoliths from southern Victoria Land have been collected and extensively studied for over a century. In this chapter, chemical and petrological data are, for the first time, comprehensively collated, and petrogenetic models for the regional mantle are reviewed and assessed. The most common lithologies are spinel lherzolite and harzburgite; plagioclase lherzolite also occurs, and pyroxenite xenoliths found across the province comprise <20% of all mantle xenoliths. The lithosph…
