 Properties and typical application
Native lead (Pb) is a soft, lustrous, bluish-white metal and rarely found in nature. Usually lead can be found in ore together with zinc, silver and copper.

Lead is primarily used for the production of lead-acid batteries, solder and various alloys. In alloys lead is used for increasing hardness, mechanical resistance and protection from abrasion.

As a result of the decreasing use of lead-containing additives in petrol in the past years, concentration of lead in air, water and food is declining. The presence of lead in water is primarily from household plumbing systems, but not from natural sources.

In general concentrations of lead in drinking-water are below 5 µg/litre.

 Toxicology
For lead the guideline value for chemicals that are of health siginificance in drinking water according to World Health Organisation is 0.01 mg/litre.

Lead and its sulfide, being incapable of absorption, are considered innocuous to a large extend, but it´s soluble salts are very poisonous. Intoxication caused by lead is mainly a consequence of exposure of its compounds to vapors and dusts.

Symptoms for lead intoxication are, amongst others, intestinal malfunction, abdominal pain and appetite loss.

 Method
The concentration of lead is analysed by the use of a specific ion selective electrode (ISE) sensitive to lead ions.

The electrode allows for the determination of the concentration plus the activity of lead ions.

 Carl Czerny
Carl Czerny, born on February 21st, 1791 in Vienna, was a famous Austrian composer and pianist. Well trained by his father, he was a brilliant pianist with only ten years of age and then became student of Ludwig van Beethoven.

He later wrote far more than 1000 compositions and was, amongst others, tutor of Franz List. Carl Czerny was acknowledged for his piano lessons, e.g. The School of Velocity and The Art of Finger Dexterity. Although he was an outstanding mucisian, he performed only very limited concerts himself.
Carl Czerny died on July 15th, 1857 in Vienna.

The work of Carl Czerny comprises:
  • piano lessons
  • various symphonies
  • piano concerts
  • church music
  • chamber music
