Study to gather use-pattern information on lead sinkers and jigs and their non-lead alternatives in Canada .: En14-308/2018E-PDF

"Canadians are exposed to low levels of lead via various routes including; food, drinking water, air, dust, soil, and lead-containing products. Although blood lead levels (BLLs) have declined by over 70% in Canada since 1978–1979, lead is still widely detected in the Canadian population. Several sources of potential lead exposure of the general population and the environment remain a concern and require further analyses. The purpose of this study is to research and gather background and use pattern information on lead sinkers/jigs and their non-lead alternatives. The information and analysis provided in the resultant report will assist Environment and Climate Change Canada risk managers in finalizing an effective risk management strategy for lead that includes appropriate actions that address the use of lead in this application”--Introd., p. 1, 2.
