Summary

Abstract: Under the Clean Air Act, EPA sets and reviews national air quality standards for lead. Air quality monitors measure concentrations of lead throughout the country. EPA, state, tribal and local agencies use those data to ensure that lead is at levels that protect public health and the environment. EPA has tracked air quality trends for lead using data from this network of monitors. Trends from 1980-2008 and from 1990-2008 are shown here. Nationally, average lead concentrations decreased dramatically after EPA's regulations reduced the lead content in gasoline.
