Abstract
The purpose of this revised Lead Air Quality Criteria Document (AQCD) is to critically assess the latest scientific information that has become available since the literature assessed in the 1986 Lead AQCD/Addendum and 1990 Supplement, with the main focus being on pertinent new information useful in evaluating health and environmental effects of ambient air lead exposures. This includes discussion in this document of information regarding: the nature, sources, distribution, measurement, and concentrations of lead in the environment; multimedia lead exposure (via air, food, water, etc.) and biokinetic modeling of contributions of such exposures to concentrations of lead in brain, kidney, and other tissues (e.g., blood and bone concentrations, as key indices of lead exposure).; characterization of lead health effects and associated exposure-response relationships; and delineation of environmental (ecological) effects of lead. This final version of the revised Lead AQCD mainly assesses pertinent literature published or accepted for publication through December 2005.
