Measuring the amount of lead in indoor dust: Long-term dust-fall accumulation in petri dishes (a pilot study)

摘要

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.
