Short summary
Peatlands not only store large amounts of carbon but also harmful metals. In a Swedish wetland, we sampled and analysed peat and water samples and found that iron, lead and carbon are released together, especially after dry periods. Lead levels were often toxic and mostly came from past gasoline pollution. The lake trap some of this released lead down stream of the wetland. We showed that climate change may cause peat to break down, releasing carbon and harmful metals into nearby water systems.
