What can we conclude from the childhood blood lead levels reported in El Paso?
A2a: Over all, the childhood blood lead levels reported in El Paso appear to be similar to the childhood blood lead levels reported in other large metropolitan areas of Texas. There are some areas of El Paso that appear to have a higher percentage of children who have blood lead levels above 10 μg/dl than other areas of the city; however, a focused study on El Paso has not been conducted. Thus we need to be cautious in our interpretation of this data.
