  • Title: Lead analysis of house dust: a method for the detection of another source of lead exposure in inner city children.
    Author: Vostal JJ, Taves F, Sayre JW, Charney E.
    Journal: Environ Health Perspect; 1974 May; 7():91-7. PubMed ID: 4831153.
    Abstract:
    A method has been developed to test the hypothesis that lead-containing house dust is responsible for the elevated levels of lead in blood of inner city children. Dust analyses of smears from the floors, walls, and windowsills in low-income inner city dwellings have shown a median concentration of lead five times as high in suburban homes. It is suggested that lead-containing dust may be one of the most important environmental sources of increased lead exposure in this specific population group.
