Besides residential units, dust, plumbing, drinking water, furniture, toys, etc., concentrations of lead can be found as well in Baltimore's inner-city soils.
In a 1983 scientific study, soil samples were randomly collected from 422 vegetable gardens centered in downtown Baltimore, Maryland, having a geographic radius of 48.28 km (30 miles). The levels of lead, four other metals (cadmium, copper, nickel, and zinc), and pH were measured for each location.
The concentrations of all of these were high.
The study concluded, inter alia, that these concentrations of lead and other metals in the soil pose environmental and public health issues, especially to children living within the inner-city of Baltimore.
