BALTIMORE LEAD INGESTION
Lead exposure in the general population of Baltimore (including children) occurs primarily through ingestion, although inhalation also contributes to lead body burden and may be the major contributor for workers in lead-related jobs.
Lead paint chips, peels and dust are major sources, though not the only sources, of lead exposure for children. As older lead paint deteriorates, peels, chips, or is removed (e.g., by renovation, etc.) or pulverized due to friction (e.g., in windowsills, steps and doors), house dust and surrounding soil may become contaminated. Lead then enters the b ody through normal hand-to- mouth activity.
Ingestion of contaminated food, drinking water or alcohol may be significant for some populations. In addition, ingesting certain home remedies as medicines may expose people to lead or lead compounds.
