Abstract

Between 1984 and 1987, the Department of the Environment intend to monitor the bloodlead levels of representative samples of inner-city residents exposed to high-density road traffic flow patterns. This monitoring will be undertaken in conjunction with the planned reduction in lead content of petrol. Electoral registrations have been used to show that population migration during such a time period is likely to be substantial, but not uniform between different inner city areas. The findings have implications for the design of the proposed studies. © 1985 The Society of Community Medicine.
