Information gaps, research needs, and recommendations are discussed. Appendices provide numerous tables of data, a draft report on lead-contaminated soil cleanup, the final and proposed national priorities list of waste sites with lead as a contaminant, and methodological details of blood-lead prevalence projections from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey II data.
