Notizen: Abstract The background levels of lead in Jamaica in soils and sediments, estimated at 37 mg kg−1, are relatively high compared with world averages. Several areas have values in excess of this due to mineralisation and pollution. One such is the residential Hope Flats/Kintyre area in which levels of lead up to 2.5% are found in the soils and up to 8 μg kg−1 in the water of the nearby Hope River. The blood lead levels of a sample of children were in the range 5.7–57 μg dl−1. The high lead levels suggest a potential health risk, particularly for the children. This can be minimised by programmes which include community education, case management and abatement to reduce the lead exposure.
