Toxic lead in inner-city Baltimore soils poses health hazards for the human body; particularly for children up to age 6 who inhale or ingest these affected soils.

This conclusion came from a group of researchers who took soil samples which were randomly collected from 422 vegetable gardens in a study area centered in downtown Baltimore, Maryland.  The radius of the study area was 48.28 kilometers (30 miles).  The levels of lead (Pb), 4 other metals (cadmium, copper, nickel and zinc), and pH (acidity and alkalinity) were measured for each location. The levels of lead in the soil in inner-city Baltimore registered higher on a consistent basis than levels in outlying Baltimore communities.
