General population exposure of stable lead and 210Pb to residents of New York City
Description
Stable lead and 210Pb intake, ingestion, and inhalation by residents of New York City were determined. Measurement of excreta samples provided data to establish a mass balance of stable lead and 210Pb. These results indicate that no more than 5 μg of stable lead and 0.1 pCi of 210Pb are retained daily by residents of New York City. Analyses of bone samples have provided estimates of the skeletal burden of stable lead and 210Pb. Using the ICRP model, intake data, and assuming 100 percent skeletal deposition, the calculated stable lead and 210Pb values are in good agreement with the experimental results. The data indicate that inhalation is the principle source of stable lead to residents in New York City
