Lead in umbilical blood, indoor air, tap water, and gasoline in Boston. 1984

M Rabinowitz, and H Needleman, and M Burley, and H Finch, and J Rees

A strong statistical correlation was found among the monthly averages of lead concentrations in umbilical cord blood (about 500 births/month), indoor air (12 sites/month), and gasoline lead sales between March, 1980 and April, 1981 in Boston. Tap water lead (24/month) variations did not correlate with blood lead in this population.
