The mean indoor lead levels found in housedust was 11,000 4tg/g; highest concentrations occurred on windowsills and in floor dust. The mean lead content of Hartford street dirt was 1,200,ug/g; levels were highest near the street and next to the buildings. The mean lead concentration of hand samples taken from the subject children was 2,400,ug/g; the mean weight of hand samples was 11 mg. The concentration of lead in dirt and househould dust was high enough to theoretically result in excessive lead accumulation in young children who are putting their dusty, dirty hands in their mouths during play. While we believe that lead emitted from automobiles contributes significantly to air, dirt and dust lead levels the environmental impact of reducing or eliminating lead from gasoline is not yet completely understood. In 1971, nearly 25 % of urban 1-5 ye...
