HC Deb 27 May 1982 vol 24 c405W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment, pursuant to the answer of 25 May relating to atmospheric lead, what percentages of an individual's lead intake are attributable to which other sources.

Mr. Giles Shaw

For most people, food accounts for almost all of the body-burden of lead which is not inhaled; but for people in a minority of areas who live in lead-plumbed houses the contribution from drinking water can be significant.
