We reported the blood lead levels and asoociated health risks to children of Lucknow, India. To the best of our knowledge this is the first comprehensive study from a particular region of the vast country and is a pointer to the perils of environmental exposure to lead among children and address the attention of regulatory agencies to curtail the input of lead from different sources.
