Localisation AimsTo determine the extent of atmospheric TM contamination, it is necessary to identify the main past and present sources of TM emissions. Peat bogs have a great potential to record anthropogenic inputs via their constituting mosses, because they draw their nutrients only from the atmosphere. We determine precisely the chemical depth-profiles of V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Sb, Pb, and Pb isotopes, in a high resolution peat-sampled sequence. We investigate possible mobility of TM by comparing some elements (Pb, Cu, Ni, Cr, V, and Zn) with another high-resolution peat sequence. By coupling cluster analyses and Pb isotopes, we identify TM relationships and sources since the last 200 years. We finally compare our results with previous investigation in a low resolution peat core focused on Pb in the same area (De Vleeschouwer et al., 2007) and in Western Europe.
Material
• Peat cores were collected in 2008.•Ages of top layers were calculated using 210Pb decay and the CRS model (Appleby, 2001). 14C measurements were performed with NEC 0.5MV Pelletron spectrometer in Poznan Radiocarbon Laboratory, Poland. An age model was obtained by combining the results with the 210Pb..•The concentrations of major and trace elements were measured by ICP-MS, at the Paul Sabatier University-Toulouse, France.•Lead isotope ratios were measured on a MC-ICP-MS (DSTE, University of Brussels).

We thank the Walloon Region as well as the F.N.R.S for funding this project. We also thank all personnel who participated in this project.
•The Misten peat bog is heavily polluted in metals and metalloids•The main trends in TM concentration profiles suggest common sources of these elements and support the view that TM (except Zn and Cd) are immobile in peat. Other TM are highly enriched in peat surface layers and may indicate that they are carried on by large unweathered particles. •The lead isotope data and statistic methods were used to identify the independent historical TM sources.•Industrial Revolution is characterized by different sources such as regional Pb ore mining, coal combustion and steel industry (“Sillon Sambre et Meuse”), which declined during the sixties-seventies.• Pb isotopes in the top layers fingerprint a secondary recent source, which remains to be identified.
