Concentrations of dissolved lead were determined by isotope dilution mass spectrometry in 17 seawater samples of a depth profile collected under strict contamination control at a station in the northern Sargasso Sea, 250 km northwest of Bermuda. Dissolved lead concentrations were about 170 pmol•kg −1 from the surface down to 400 m, then declined sharply to relatively constant values of 25 pmol•kg−1 below 2000 m depth. This large concentration enrichment in the upper part of the water column is concordant with the distribution observed earlier in the central northeast Pacific, and it confirms the unique character of the occurrence of lead in open ocean water columns: the depth profile for lead differs markedly from those for most other trace metals, which show concentration depletions in surface waters instead.
