^bstract
Lead contamination was detected in the drinking water at the NASKEF military station in Keflavik in the 90's.The problem
'A'as mediated by adding Zinkorthophospate (ZOP) to the water. After the military station was discontinued in 2006, all
reatment of the water was halted.The aim of this study was to document for the first time in the public domain, informa-
bon on the drinking water lead pollution in NASKEF and assess the current risks of lead pollution in that area as well as
jrrree other communities in Southwestern lceland.The research focused initially on identifying buildings with copper
úbes soldered with leaded tin, that were the main source of the lead pollution at the military base. Water was sampled
^'th first draw and 6HS methods and analyzed with ICP-MS at Matís ohf. Ali analyzed samples contained lead contamina-
'on well below MCL of the lcelandic regulation on drinking water. In Reykjanesbær and Reykjavik, all samples were below
Oetection limits of the ICP-MS. It is suggested that the reason for the high lead contamination at the NASKEF station, may
nave been due to the station's requirement of treating the water with Chlorine and Fluoride, which was stopped immedi-
ately after the station was closed. Current lcelandic monitoring on drinking water safety could be improved by placing spe-
c|al requirements on sampling water from domestic distribution system using the sampling methods described in this arti-
cle- ln addition, more information sharing to the consumers is recommended.
