Environmental lead risk in the 21st century - Communications Earth & Environment
Substantial environmental lead contamination continues today contributing to an annual global economic loss exceeding $3.4 trillion through contemporary childhood lead exposure, according to a review of lead sources, possible pathways into the environment, and human exposure in the 21st century.
