Brugam and Kohn used their Urban Research Scholar award to build upon work already completed with the IUR (along with William Retzlaff and Z-Q Lin). The award was used to fund the acquisition and testing of ground samples for lead contamination at various locations within the Metro-East area.
This 1910 photo shows a shot tower where lead shot was made. This is the lead works that started lead contamination problems at Horseshoe Lake State Park in Granite City, Ill.
