Abstract
A long term programme to assess the impact of reduced lead emissions in the UK has been established in central London and rural Suffolk. Blood lead concentrations of 5 and 6 year old children and their mothers both show an urban-rural difference of about 1.5 μg/dl, which is related to the urban-rural differences in air and dust lead concentrations between areas.Keywords
