Abstract: Many chemical contaminants may be present in the city's residential soil, lead appears to present the highest risk, and has been the most studied. Lead poisoning is one of the greatest public health hazards that faced by residents. Exposed children have elevated blood lead levels at a rate eight times greater than the national average. Although the primary source of concern for childhood lead poisoning is within housing units, lead in soil is also a factor and efforts to assess and reduce the amount of lead in soil have been part of the goal to reduce risks of lead poisoning. There are many activities that can cause lead to accumulate in soils. Some of these activities may have happened in the past and no longer add to a site's soil lead contamination. For example, leaded gasoline is no longer used, but residues from its emissions remain in soils near roads. Lead may have also been added to soil from point sources, such as burned trash, metal smelters, jewellery plating operations, or dumped lead batteries.
