The survey shows that at 1 meter from the ground, the lead concentration in the air is 16 times that of 1.5 meters, and the height of children is just in this range; infants and young children often touch the wall with their hands, and they suck their fingers, so it is easy to ingest a large amount of lead. lead. In addition, the absorption rate of lead by infants and young children is as high as 53%, which is about 5 times that of adults.
