Lead exists in high concentrations in plankton and algae primarily due to environmental pollution from human activities, such as industrial processes, mining, and the burning of fossil fuels. Plankton and algae accumulate trace amounts of lead from their surrounding water, resulting in higher concentrations within their tissues.
