Abstract Stack dust from a large Cu smelter near Tacoma, Washington has contaminated soil with As, Sb, and Pb. Within 5 km of the smelter 380 ppm (dry weight) As, 200 ppm Sb, and 540 ppm Pb have been measured in the surface soil (0–3 cm). Plants grown in these soils may be affected and also the consumption of plants coated with this heavy metal rich dust may be of concern.
