Pathways and sources of lead exposure: Michigan Children's Lead Determination (the MI CHILD study).

There has been little research on childhood lead exposure pathways since the 1990s. New data from Michigan in 2017-2021 for 429 children in 345 homes included lead in blood, paint, dust, soil, water, and other housing, demographic, and behavioral metrics. Fifty-three percent of these children had blood lead (BPb) ≥5 μg/dL.

Healthy Homes University: a home-based environmental intervention and education program for families with pediatric asthma in Michigan.

Families received four visits during a six-month intervention.
