This study investigated lead concentrations in < 250 µm and < 75 µm of deposited dust and< 2000 µm, < 250 µm, and < 75 µm of surface soils at undeveloped residential lands leased to auto-mechanic artisans for a minimum of ten years and estimated exposure risk for children that will reside on the polluted lands after the lease periods. Soil-Pb levels ranges obtained were between 40.0 -411 mg/kg, 62.0 -435 mg/kg , and 61.0 -491 mg/kg for < 2000 µm, < 250 µm and < 75 µm fractions, respectively. Dust-Pb levels ranges were between 138 -1819 mg/kg, and 128 -1584 mg/kg for < 250 µm and < 75 µm fractions, respectively. The estimated daily intake were in the range of 0.17 -
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
