Abstract：
:Blood samples and questionnaire background data were collected from 96 children (age 2-14 years) living in urban, suburban, or rural areas with varying traffic intensity and industrial lead pollution in Uruguay. Spot samples of tap water were collected from the homes of 44 children, and samples of top soil were taken from seven areas. Samples of air-borne dust were collected in central and suburban Montevideo. Blood lead concentrations (B-Pb) in children ranged between 47 and 191 (mean 96) micrograms/L and exceeded in 36% of the children 100 micrograms/L, the intervention level adopted by the United States Centers for Disease Control. Lead in tap water ranged from 0.2 to 230 (mean 15) micrograms/L and exceeded in 39% of the samples the maximum level recommended by WHO, 10 micrograms/L. Lead pipes were used in parts of the water supply systems. Lead in air varied between different locations from 0.15 to 1.7 micrograms/m3, highest in the very center of Montevideo. The median soil lead ranged from 6 to 2100 micrograms/g and was highest in industrially polluted areas. At multiple regression analysis, B-Pb was significantly associated only with age (P = 0.032) and traffic intensity at school (P = 0.045). No significant impact on B-Pb of lead in water or soil could be established.
