Lead concentrations in the Canadian population, 2007 to 2009.: CS82-625/2010002-11328E-PDF

"The Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) measured lead and other environmental contaminants in the Canadian population. From 2007 to 2009, blood lead was detected in 100% of the population aged 6 to 79 years. The geometric mean concentration was 1.34 µg/dL. This level is about three times lower than the level measured in the 1978-79 Canada Health Survey. Furthermore, less than 1% of Canadians had blood lead concentrations at or above the intervention level of 10 µg/dL from 2007 to 2009. Thirty years earlier, this figure was 27%"--Page [3].
