Abstract
Data from the Edinburgh Lead Study are used to estimate the respective contributions of water and dust lead to blood lead in 6-9 year old children. Both sources are significantly related to blood lead. An exposure of 100 μg/l in kitchen cold water is estimated to be equivalent to 2700 μg/g of lead in dust. In this population water is a more important source of lead than dust for the bulk of the population.Entities:
