Pb
Dense metallic element
Pb is the chemical symbol for lead, from Latin *plumbum*.
The element is a dense, soft, bluish-gray metal with atomic number 82.
Lead appears in contexts ranging from batteries and radiation shielding to historical uses in pipes and paint.
The water tested positive for Pb contamination.
