Superfund cleanups and children’s lead exposure in six states

Published by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 12:47 AM | Dataset Last Updated: December 16, 2019
Data for the study include restricted access and non-restricted access files. Restricted access files include individual children's blood lead data from six states, property assessment data from Zillow, Inc., and Census tract characteristics processed by GeoLytics. Information on how to obtain restricted access files is given in the supporting document "data sources for ScienceHub.docx". Non-restricted access files available here include contaminated site locations and characteristics (Superfund, brownfields, and RCRA sites), ambient air lead concentrations, state-month average temperatures, and vehicle miles traveled in 1980. Citation information for this dataset can be found in the EDG's Metadata Reference Information section and Data.gov's References section.
