Various potable water and soil samples have been analyzed for tri- and dialkyllead compounds using a sensitive speciation procedure based on diethyldithiocarbamate extraction, Grignard derivatization and gas chromatography-atomic absorption spectrometry. The species are generally present as ultra-trace contaminants, and their abundance is critically discussed. In addition, a degradation study of ionic alkyllead in ambient matrices is presented.

Lead is known to be toxic, especially in its organic forms (organolead, OL). In the environment tetraalkyllead species are rapidly degraded by sunlight and atmospheric constituents like ozone or hydroxyl radicals. Such breakdown yields the soluble forms such as trialkyllead and dialkyllead and finally ionic lead species.

A simple and novel screening method for lead compounds in environmental waters is proposed. The analytes, in an acetic medium, are sorbed on a C60 fullerene column as diethyldithiocarbamate complexes and subsequently eluted with isobutyl methyl ketone (IBMK), the lead being determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The screening method acts as filter and indicates whether the target analytes are present above or below the detection limit of the method (0.
