“…16 Another study showed that wind direction (but not wind speed) was a significant predictor of lead dust fall. 6 Wind speed may increase the concentration of airborne particulates by aerosolizing settled dusts. Lead dust fall was 33% lower on side streets than on main streets, possibly due to greater numbers of trees and green landscaping on side streets as well as re-entrainment of particulate from vehicular traffic.…”

“…Earlier research has focused mostly on large numbers of multifamily housing units undergoing demolition within a confined geographic area. [1][2][3][4] Only one small pilot study 6 has examined single-family housing demolition, which often occurs at scattered sites adjacent to occupied homes, and no studies have reported on metals other than lead in demolition dust.…”

Lead dust suppression is feasible and important in single-family housing demolition where distances between houses are smaller and community exposures are higher. Neighbor notification should be expanded to at least 400 feet away from single-family housing demolition, not just adjacent properties. Further research is needed on effects of distance, potential water contamination, occupational exposures, and water application.

A new, passive particle deposition air sampler, called the Einstein–Lioy Deposition Sampler (ELDS), has been developed to fill a gap in passive sampling for near-field particle emissions. The sampler can be configured in several ways: with a protective hood for outdoor sampling, without a protective hood, and as a dust plate. In addition, there is an XRF-ready option that allows for direct sampling onto a filter-mounted XRF cartridge which can be used in conjunction with all configurations. A wind tunnel was designed and constructed to test the performance of different sampler configurations using a test dust with a known particle size distribution. The sampler configurations were also tested versus each other to evaluate whether or not the protective hood would affect the collected particle size distribution. A field study was conducted to test the sampler under actual environmental conditions and to evaluate its ability to collect samples for chemical analysis. Individual experiments for each configuration demonstrated precision of the sampler. The field experiment demonstrated the ability of the sampler to both collect mass and allow for the measurement of an environmental contaminant i.e. Cr6+. The ELDS was demonstrated to be statistically not different for Hooded and Non-Hooded models, compared to each other and the test dust; thus, it can be used indoors and outdoors in a variety of configurations to suit the user's needs.
