TLDR
The results of this pooled analysis confirm that lead-contaminated house dust is the major source of lead exposure for children and demonstrate that a strong relationship between interior dust lead loading and children's blood lead levels persists at dust lead levels considerably below the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's current postabatement standards and the Environmental Protection Agency's guidance levels.About:

Heavy metal toxicity and the environment.
TL;DR: This review provides an analysis of arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, and mercury's environmental occurrence, production and use, potential for human exposure, and molecular mechanisms of toxicity, genotoxicity, and carcinogenicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of exposure of heavy metals and their impact on health consequences
TL;DR: The global contamination of drinking water with heavy metals is discussed to assess the health hazards associated with consumption of heavy metal‐contaminated water and a relationship between exposure limits and ultimate responses produced has been reviewed.

Lead Toxicity, A Review of the Literature. Part I: Exposure, Evaluation, and Treatment
TL;DR: Data now implicates low-level exposures and blood lead levels previously considered normal as causative factors in cognitive dysfunction, neurobehavioral disorders, neurological damage, hypertension, and renal impairment.

A multi-element profile of housedust in relation to exterior dust and soils in the city of Ottawa, Canada.
TL;DR: It is concluded that dust generated from sources within the house itself can contribute significantly to exposures to certain elements, such as lead, cadmium, antimony and mercury.

TL;DR: Public- and private-sector resources should be directed to units posing the greatest risk if future lead poisoning is to be prevented, and older units with lead-based paint hazards that either will be or are currently occupied by families with children under 6 years of age and are low-income and/or are undergoing renovation or maintenance that disturbs lead- based paint.

House and Hand Dust As a Potential Source of Childhood Lead Exposure
TL;DR: Dust containing lead was found on the hands of inner-city children and interior household surfaces in substantially larger amounts than in similar suburban settings, suggesting that children may ingest this lead through typically frequent mouthing activity.
