Exposure of U.S. Children to Residential Dust Lead, 1999–2004: I. Housing and Demographic Factors

Abstract

Most houses with children have PbD levels that comply with federal standards but may put children at risk. Factors associated with PbD in our population-based models are primarily the same as factors identified in smaller at-risk cohorts. PbD on floors and windowsills should be kept as low as possible to protect children.
