The adverse effects of heavy metal contamination, such as lead in the environment, have
been a worldwide concern. In the Philippines, the use of leaded gasoline was phase-out in
Metro Manila in April 2000. This study investigated the distribution of airborne lead in three
major thorough fares in Metro Manila. Lead levels in plants and soil surfaces were
correlated with both human blood samples and rainwater collected from selected building
rooftops in Metro Manila.
