Agreement ℜ of Four Analytical Methods Applied to Pb in Soils from the Small City of St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada

Abstract: In the small city of St. John’s, NL (2020 population ~114,000), 100% of the soils of the pre-1926 properties exceeded the Canadian soil Pb standard, 140 mg/kg. The Pb was traced to high-Pb coal ash used for heating and disposed on the soils outside. Analytical instruments became available in the late 1960s and 1970s and were first used for blood Pb and clinical studies and repurposed for measuring environmental Pb. The environmental research part of this study compared four common soil Pb analysis methods on t… Show more

“…The focus on measuring blood Pb and ascribing the exposure to lead-based paint missed obvious environmental signals such as atmospheric Pb and settled Pb dust concentrations [ 10 ]. Eventually, the same analytical instruments were adopted to measure air Pb and soil Pb [ 11 ], but the findings were often ignored [ 12 ]. The purpose of this article is to conduct an integrative review to (1) demonstrate the links between air Pb, soil Pb, and blood Pb, and (2) identify mitigation strategies that limit multiple Pb dust sources and decrease human Pb exposure.…”

“…Studies of indoor Pb dust and hand Pb within inner city and outer city communities of Rochester, NY indicated an unknown alternative source of Pb dust that was responsible for pediatric exposure 16 . Recent advances in soil Pb analysis has been boosted with the development during the 1990s and 2000s of the portable (specifically, handheld) X-Ray Fluorescence analytical instrument (pXRF) 19 . Soil analysis with pXRF requires minimal preparation.…”

“…Soil analysis with pXRF requires minimal preparation. Four soil Pb extraction methods were compared on the same sample set and the agreement R between them were excellent 19 . This means that soil analysis can be conducted on-site as a point-of-care soil testing activity.…”
