Investigation of the Distribution of Lead (Pb) in Soil in Rochester, NY: Correlation with Children’s Blood Lead Levels
Despite the outlawing of both leaded paints and gasoline decades ago, lead poisoning remains a severe health issue, particularly for children aged 5 and under due to their hand-to-mouth tendencies and underdeveloped gastrointestinal tracts. Lead from paint typically only presents itself as an issue …
