The risk of lead toxicity in homes with lead paint hazard.

TL;DR: Lead paint was found to be a significant predictor of the probability of a child having lead toxicity, and the reduction in leaded gasoline sales during the period reduced mean blood lead levels and increased the percentage of lead toxic children whose toxicity could be attributed to paint lead.
