Note: Pure metallic element having symbol Pb and atomic number 82; soft, dense ductile metal of a dull gray color, shiny when freshly cut, occuring naturally most often as a sulfide in the mineral galena. Other lead minerals include anglesite (lead sulfate) and cerussite (lead carbonate). Native metallic lead was found and used from about 3600-2600 BCE when the technique for obtaining lead from roasting the sulfide ore (galena) was discovered. Lead was used to make small cast items such as coins and statuettes, plumbing pipes, spires, statues, cisterns, gargoyles, pigments (lead white, litharge, orange mineral, etc.), as a component in pottery glazes, for roofing, flashing, stained glass windows, as a soft solder, and as radiation shielding.

| Chinese (traditional) ..... 一種化學符號為Pb、原子序號為82的純金屬元素。為質軟、密度大、具延展性之暗灰色金屬，在切割時才呈光澤。天然最常見於方鉛礦裡的硫化物，其它鉛礦物則包括鉛礬（硫酸鉛）和白鉛礦（碳酸鉛）。原生金屬鉛發現及使用的期間為西元前3600年至2600年，之中發展出由烘燒硫化礦（方鉛礦）得到鉛的技術。鉛可用來製造如硬幣和小雕像的小型鑄造物、管線水管、尖塔、雕像、水池，滴水獸、顏料（鉛白、鉛黃、鉛橙等），可做為陶器釉料的成分，用於屋頂、防水蓋片、彩繪玻璃窗，可當作軟焊料，也可做為輻射屏蔽。 |
| Dutch ..... Te gebruiken voor het zuivere metaalelement met het symbool Pb en het atoomnummer 82; het metaal is zacht, kneedbaar en vaalgrijs van kleur. Ook te gebruiken voor het metaal wanneer het wordt bewerkt en gevormd om, meestal in combinatie met andere stoffen, verscheidene voorwerpen en materialen te maken. |
| Spanish ..... Úsese para el elemento metálico puro con símbolo Pb y número atómico 82; metal gris opaco, dúctil. Úsese también para este metal procesado y conformado, habitualmente en combinación con otras sustancias, para fabricar diversos objetos y materiales. |
