Blood lead level seasonal variation

Correlation of Atmospheric Soil and Atmospheric Lead in Three North American Cities Can Re-suspension of Urban Lead Contaminated Soil be a Major Source of Urban Atmospheric Lead and Cause Seasonal Variations in Children s Blood Lead Levels ... [Pg.223]

Laidlaw Filippelli (2008), Laidlaw et al. (2005), and Filippelli et al. (2005) have demonstrated that seasonal variations in children s blood lead levels In Syracuse, Indianapolis and New Orleans could be predicted using soil moisture and atmospheric variables suggesting that resuspension of urban soils contaminated by past use of leaded gasoline and paint were causally related to seasonal variations in blood lead. These papers concluded that urban lead contaminated soil was being re-suspended when soils were dry in the summer and autumn when... [Pg.224]

See, for example. United States Environmental Protection Agency (1995) Yiin, Rhoads, and Lioy (2000) and Haley and Talbot (2004), pp. 166-167. On the other hand, Oliveira et al. (2002), show that some of the seasonal variation in blood levels is the result of mobilization of bone-lead stores. [Pg.259]
