Exposure to house dust and soil lead: Probing speciation drivers of lead bioavailability
Citation:
Sowers, T. Exposure to house dust and soil lead: Probing speciation drivers of lead bioavailability. Duke University Civil and Environmental Engineering Graduate Colloquium, Durham, NC, October 03, 2022.
Impact/Purpose:
This abstract is for a presentation discussing how X-ray absorption spectroscopy data provides insights into house dust and soil Pb bioavailability. This is critical, as it allows for better determination of Pb exposure via house dust and soil. Additionally, this is necessary for determining the success of soil Pb remediation. These findings further ORD’s research on development of soil remediation technologies to reduce lead bioavailability at contaminated sites in support of EPA’s OLEM/OSRTI and Regional offices. ORD’s soil remediation research for lead contaminated soils is listed as a high priority research need for OLEM/OSRTI and EPA Regional offices.
