Children, Gardens, and Lead
"Lead particles may be found in and around gardens from two sources: from the air and from the soil. The following safety measures can be used as guidelines for those concerned." Topics include vinegar and soap solutions for washing vegetables, types and parts of vegetables that absorb more lead, and adding organic matter to the garden. Related resources are specific to New York. From the Cornell University Department of Horticulture.
