In Baltimore and elsewhere in the United States --- particularly since the year 2000 or so ---
urban redevelopment efforts have included the demolition of aging housing and other buildings.
Over 1.8 million U.S. housing units (houses and apartments) are believed to have been in the
decade of 2000 alone, many of which contained lead (Pb) in paint and dust. These older (legacy)
residential which contain lead paint have been of particular public health concern --- especially for children under the age of 6 who inhale or ingest leaded paint and dust.
Exterior dust is a public health concern in the Baltimore area --- and rightly so --- because it is a
pathway of ambient lead (Pb) exposure and a potential source of residential exposure by way of tracking , as well as reacrosolization and redeposition. In urban demolition of residential units, care must be taken to control related lead (Pb) deposition and to educate planners, contractors, and health and housing agencies. This is particularly important given the large numbers of aging U.S. dwellings that will be razed as part of future urban redevelopment.
