About Lead
Lead is commonly used in manufacturing products like batteries and solders. The major emission source is from the mining, smelting and processing of mineral ores. Inhaling or consuming lead and its compounds can affect the human body, particularly the nervous system, and may result in growth and developmental problems in children.
The guideline for Lead is 2µg/m³ (24hr avg).
Lead is measured in micrograms per cubic metre.
