The findings indicate that decreasing Pb in topsoil is an important factor in the continuous decline of children’s BPb, and the most contaminated urban communities, usually inhabited by vulnerable populations, require further reductions of top soil Pb to fulfill primary prevention for the nation's children.

Airborne Lead (Pb) From Abandoned Mine Waste in Northeastern Oklahoma, USA
- Environmental ScienceGeoHealth
- 2020
This study is the first attempt to evaluate the significance of Pb‐laden airborne particulate matter from a large‐scale abandoned mining area where the humans are particularly vulnerable to metal exposure and it found that chat piles in Picher contain ~20% and 6% of fine particles that are subjective to windborne transport and human inhalation, respectively, and these fine particles contain disproportionally high concentrations of PB.

Prevention of Childhood Lead Toxicity

Primary prevention should be the focus of policy on childhood lead toxicity, and reducing sources of lead in the environment, including lead in housing, soil, water, and consumer products, has been shown to be cost-beneficial.

Environmental sources of lead, including house-dust, soil lead, and water lead, were independently associated with children's blood lead levels and the progressive lowering of standards for lead-contaminated water as the definition of undue lead exposure has been modified is supported.
