Abstract
BLLs of children living near a battery recycling plant in Serbia, an upper-middle income European country, were in the range and even higher than those of children living in developing countries. For the first time, the contribution of environmental and take-home lead exposure was quantified using mixed-effect modeling, and our results indicate a contribution of 25-40% of the take-home lead exposure to the BLLs of children living in the vicinity of a secondary lead smelter.
