A Noninvasive Isotopic Approach to Estimate the Bone Lead Contribution to
Blood in Children: Implications for Assessing the Efficacy of Lead Abatement

Blood lead level

Childhood lead poisoning

The researchers in this study examined if bone storage of lead contributed to blood lead levels in children not abating completely after household remediation. They only used 3 subjects, however, so its is only weak evidence to support that bone lead stores being released into blood cause higher blood lead levels than would be expected after the remediation of a household. The researchers correlated their bone data with fecal data.
