“…According to Ng and Beedham [13], the main portal of entry of lead exposure was through the inhalation. The reduction of lead concentration in paint and related research is important to be performed [14]. Previous study conducted by Rizkiani [15] showed the presence of lead content in the painting workers' blood in the area of present study.…”

Lead is used as pigments in paint. Spray painting has been widely used in various industries, such as automobile painting. Exposure to dust and fumes containing lead compound needs a great concern of environmentalist who evaluates community Hb, Ht, and erythrocyte count showed that lead in the occupational setting associated with hematology disorder, but not to acute toxicity, as there was no basophilic stippling detected.

“…In this study, only three houses (total 477) were found to be decorated by oil paint. In addition, previous studies indicated that quite a few paints sold in China had high levels of Pb (Clark et al, 2009;Lin et al, 2009). Fig.…”

Red lead (Pb 3 O 4 ) has been used extensively in the past as an anti-corrosion paint for the protection of steel constructions. Prominent examples being some of the 200,000 high-voltage pylons in Germany which have been treated with red lead anti-corrosion paints until about 1970. Through weathering and maintenance work, paint compounds and particles are deposited on the soils beneath these constructions. In the present study, six such "pylon soils" were investigated in order to characterize the plant availability and plant uptake of Pb, Cd, and Zn. For comparison, three urban soils with similar levels of heavy metal contamination were included. One phase extractions with 1 M NH 4 NO 3 , sequential extractions (seven steps), and extractions at different soil pH were used to evaluate the heavy metal binding forms in the soil and availability to plants. Greenhouse experiments were conducted to determine heavy metal uptake by Lolium multiflorum and Lactuca sativa var. crispa in untreated and limed red lead paint contaminated soils. Concentrations of Pb and Zn in the pylon soils were elevated with maximum values of 783 mg Pb kg −1 and 635 Zn mg kg −1 while the soil Cd content was similar to nearby reference soils. The pylon soils were characterized by exceptionally high proportions of NH 4 NO 3 -extractable Pb reaching up to 17% of total Pb. Even if the relatively low pH of the soils is considered (pH 4.3-4.9), this appears to be a specific feature of the red lead contamination since similarly contaminated urban soils have to be acidified to pH 2.5 to achieve a similarly high Pb extractability. The Pb content in L. multiflorum shoots reached maximum values of 73 mg kg −1 after a cultivation time of 4 weeks in pylon soil. Lime amendment reduced the plant uptake of Pb and Zn significantly by up to 91%. But L. sativa var. crispa cultivated on soils limed to neutral pH still contained critical Pb concentrations (up to 0.6 mg kg −1 fresh weight). Possible mechanisms for the exceptionally high plant availability of soil Pb derived from red lead paint are discussed.
