Abstract

Lead from dust is potentially the major contributor to blood lead levels in children living in urban environments in Australia and is likely to make a substantial contribution to blood lead levels of children living in the vicinity of lead smelters. We undertook a trial of measuring dust in petri dishes to estimate the long-term flux of lead in indoor dust.
