Effectiveness of interventions for the remediation of lead-contaminated soil to prevent or reduce lead exposure - A systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To summarize the evidence on the effectiveness of soil remediation to prevent or reduce lead exposure.

Methods

We systematically searched MEDLINE, the Agricultural & Environmental Science Database, Web of Science, and Scopus from 1980 to February 15, 2021. We also performed reference list checking, hand-searched websites, and contacted experts. Eligible studies evaluated the effect of soil remediation to prevent or reduce lead exposure in humans of any age. We screened all records dually; one investigator performed the data extraction; a second checked for completeness and accuracy. Two investigators independently rated the risk of bias of included studies and graded the certainty of evidence. We synthesized findings narratively.

Results

We identified 6614 p
