Franklin expedition lead exposure: New insights from high resolution confocal x-ray fluorescence imaging of skeletal microstructure
Treena Swanston, Tamara L. Varney, Madalena Kozachuk et al., 2018. PLOS ONE 13(8): e0202983.
Synchrotron confocal XRF maps of lead in bone and tooth microstructure from Beechey Island and King William Island crew, against a Royal Navy comparison sample from Antigua. Lead was similar at both sites, present but not markedly raised in tissue formed near death, and not unusually high for the period; concludes lead did not play a pivotal role.
What it's used for here
The strongest published test of the lead hypothesis.
