Earth planet. Sci. Letts, 82(34):289-304. Measurements of lattice-bound Pb in sequential scleractinian coral bands reveal temporal changes in surface water Pb concentrations and Pb isotopic distributions. Perturbations are observable in all specimens studied, attesting to global augmentation of environmental Pb by industrialization. In the western North Atlantic, Pb perturbations have occurred in direct response to the industrial revolution and the subsequent introduction and phasing-out of alkyl Pb additives in gasoline. Surface ocean concentrations are presently declining rapidly as a result of curtailed alkyl Pb usage. Lead isotopic shifts parallel the concentration record indicating that industrial and alkyl Pb source signatures have not changed appreciably in time. In remote areas of the South Pacific and Indian oceans, industrial signals are fainter and the coral studied much younger than their Atlantic counterparts. LamontDoherty Geolog.

Data collected during a workshop on the geomorphology of more than 30 islands (first mapped in the early 1900s), and on the biological status and extent of coral reefs located along an 80-km pollution gradient from Jakarta Bay to the outermost Thousand Islands, revealed that many reefs had deteriorated and some of the islands had almost disappeared since the earlier studies. The need for stricter controls on dredging and sewage release, and the regular monitoring of the reefs is emphasized. Sections on field methods for assessing reef deterioration are included.

Studies of the developmental toxicity of pollutants in aquatic organisms (especially fish) are reviewed; structural and functional abnormalities, embryotoxicity and growth effects are considered. Teratogenic bioassay development, quantification of abnormalities, and mechanisms of action are discussed. Dept. of Zool. and Physiol., Rutgers Univ., Newark, NJ 07201, USA. (gsb)
