Large amounts of low-lead concentration dust, or a small amounts of high lead concentration dust, can result in a sample with a high lead level. Interior paint may be relativity low in lead while interior dust is highly contaminated by lead from exterior soils that have been tracked in. Neighborhood levels of lead may also contribute to high interior levels of lead, for example, local industry, neighborhood demolition, or sandblasting. The reverse is also possible - high exterior soil lead levels can originate in building paint or lead activities.
Lead contaminated soil is a major reservoir of lead in the environment. Soil has been contaminated with lead from many years of airborne particulate fallout from automobile exhaust, from industrial sources, and from the extensive use of lead-based paint on residential housing and other structures.
Lead contamination from weathering of lead painted building exteriors will be concentrated close to the building and along the building perimeter. Lead contamination from airborne sources such as industrial discharges may be spread about the property. Lead from auto exhaust will be concentrated close to past or current traffic areas and will decrease away from the traffic areas.
It is not possible to give detailed advice about choosing sampling locations because there are so many variables to consider at a particular site. Urban or rural location, past use of the property, neighborhood industry, and number and maintenance history of the buildings that will be renovated or demolished will have an effect on site lead levels. A certified lead risk assessment consultant is trained to do a preliminary assessment of the property and use professional judgment to advise the person collecting the samples.
