leadresistance
Lead resistance refers to the ability of certain organisms or materials to withstand the toxic effects of lead. In biological contexts, this can involve mechanisms that limit lead absorption, sequester lead within the organism, or excrete it. For example, some plants can tolerate higher concentrations of lead in soil and absorb it without significant harm, a phenomenon exploited in phytoremediation. Within microorganisms, resistance can be mediated by genes encoding proteins that efflux lead ions from the cell or bind them to intracellular components.
In materials science, lead resistance might refer to the durability of a coating or barrier against lead-based
