► Urban pollution study in a neighborhood adjacent to a coal-fired power plant. ► Pb isotopic compositions determined in street sediment and lichen samples. ► Geochemistry is consistent with Pb contamination from yellow road paint containing PbCrO4. Lead isotopic compositions were determined in stre...
