Fig. 2. Lead (1687-1995) in the tree rings of a 300+ yr-old baldcypress tree growing along Bayou Trepagnier, downstream from the pollution point. The sharp increase of Pb beginning around 1920 correlates with the establishment of a petroleum plant, its subsequent expansion, and several dredging episodes. The detection limit is 1 mg/kg.
