Abstract

During the summer of 1970, 117 migrant farm labor camps were studied for lead paint hazard. Of these, 115 had lead-based paint on their structures. The average dwelling had 50% of its surfaces painted with lead-based paints. The average dwelling had 40% of its paint in a peeling or chipping state. We conclude that all children living in such housing should be recognized as having been subjected to lead exposure. Because of this, lead poisoning should be more thoroughly looked for in rural settings.
