摘要：

Average concentration of Pb in atmospheric air particulates in different suburbs of Mumbai was studied for almost a decade and its spatial and temporal profiles are discussed in relation to emission sources. In general the concentration of Pb in all the residential suburban atmosphere is well below the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB, 1994) prescribed limit of 1.5 mug m(-3) barring a few exceptions for some residential/industrial sites, such as those of Thane and Kurla scrap yards. The correlation between blood lead of children and air lead reveals that the blood Pb level in children could increase by 3.6 mug dl(-1) for an incremental rise of 1.0 mug Pb m(-3) of air. The temporal profile of air Pb values indicates a decreasing trend in residential suburbs (Khar: 1984, 0.39 mug m(-3); 1996, 0.17 mug m(-3)) as well as in suburban residential areas with low traffic (Goregaon: 1984, 0.53 mug m(-3); 1996, 0.30 mug m(-3)).
