Environmental lead exposure in Christchurch children: soil lead a potential hazard.

Shellshear ID, Jordan LD, Hogan DJ, Shannon FT.

Abstract

A study of childhood blood lead levels and of soil lead levels has been carried out in Christchurch. The results indicate a potent hazard especially to the child with unusual appetite for soil. Screening and preventative programmes are briefly discussed.
