Abstract
A large-scale data base was derived from the New Haven Connecticut (USA) Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention and Control Program. A subset of 918 children was examined to explore associations of blood Pb levels in these children and 4 family operational factors. Elevated Pb in the children was positively associated with larger numbers of children under 6 yr in the family, fewer parents at home, fewer parents employed and lack of day care. Additional environment, demographics and socioeconomic factors in childhood Pb poisoning and its control are under study.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
