The EPA has lowered recommended screening levels for lead-contaminated soil, the agency said Wednesday.
The screening level for lead in soil at residential properties has been lowered from 400 parts per million to 200 ppm, with 100 ppm generally being used for residential properties with multiple sources of lead exposure, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
Written feedback on the guidance can be submitted until March 17, the EPA said.
