Lead-Based Paint Abatement and Repair and Maintenance Study in Baltimore: Pre-Intervention Findings.

PB97115745

Publication Date	1996
Personal Author	Farfel, M. R.; Rohde, C.; Lees, P. S. J.; Rooney, B.; Bannon, D. I.; Derbyshire, W.
Page Count	90
Abstract	The report presents the results of the initial data collection of the Lead-Based Abatement and Reapir and Maintenance (R&M) Study in Baltimore, MD. The study targets low-income housing where children are at high risk. The report provides pre-intervention baseline data for the longitudinal study of changes in levels of lead in children's blood and in settled house dust associated with three levels of R&M intervention. The results showed that children's blood lead concentrations were significantly correlated with lead levels in house dust from entryway and six types of interior surfaces.
