Lead (Pb) is an environmental neurotoxicant that has been associated with a wide range of
adverse health conditions, and which originates from both anthropogenic and natural …

Anthropogenic lead (Pb) in soils poses risks to human health, particularly to the
neuropsychological development of exposed children. Delineating the sources and potential …

Residential lead (Pb) contamination, resulting from decades-long use of leaded gasoline
and lead-based paint, is likely to be present in soils in most urban areas. A screening level …

Abstract In the United States, the study of lead pollution in soil has focused on older cities
throughout the industrialised northern tier of states often referred to as the rust belt …

Understanding the spatial distribution of soil lead has been a focus of the Baltimore
Ecosystem Study since its inception in 1997. Through multiple research projects that span …

Lead (Pb) is a toxin that after childhood exposure poses a lifetime of health risks. One route
of exposure is soil-Pb as a result of∼ 12 million metric tons of Pb residue in paint and …

While the presence of lead in urban soils from residential lead paint and leaded gasoline is
well documented, the relative contribution of lead from area historical industrial activities is …

Abstract Lead (Pb) concentration and Pb isotopic composition of surface and subsurface soil
samples were used to investigate the potential for off-site air transport of Pb from a former …

Identifying the distribution of soil lead (Pb) in urban areas can serve to quantify the location
and magnitude of health risks, and thereby inform urban land use and Pb mitigation policies …

In many urban areas, elevated soil lead (Pb) concentrations are indicators of community-
level Pb exposure. Here, we examine the spatial distribution and speciation of legacy soil Pb …
