Abstract
⺠We investigated the effect of landscape heterogeneity on lead in residential soil. ⺠Landscape heterogeneity was considered at two different spatial scales. ⺠We sampled soil lead on residential parcels using field-portable x-ray fluorescence. ⺠Soil lead was associated with housing age and distance to roadways and buildings. ⺠Research has implications for land planning, health policies and predictive models.
