Wow. This is a big deal. All that garbage about children being exposed to lead because of the paint turns out to be wrong. Everything that the cities, public health authorities, paint manufacturers and insurers did appears to have been wasted. All along the cause of this tragedy was the soil that the children played in.
With this study, we may actually get public action that can effectively deal with this problem rather than chasing goblems the way we did in the past.
If this study proves correct, maybe the insurance companies will take another look at writing Bronx residential real estate properties without excluding lead coverage-I mean decent, well maintained properties.
It might be that these findings are wholly transferable to Depleted Uranium (DU), used in munitions. Many tons of DU dust have been released over Iraq in particular — wherever shells from tanks and A-10 aircraft have been used, they become powdered and stay in the environment.

Looks like we need to stop children from playing in dirt!!!
I wonder how this will effect the current open claims for lead paint. How do you prove where the problem lies? Should cities be testing soil?
