Soil tests link high lead
levels to Dallas smeltei

United Press International
DALLAS — Latest city tests on
soil samples support federal gov
ernment data showing potentially
toxic lead levels within a half-mile
radius of a West Dallas lead smel
ter and an East Oak Cliff unit, city
health officials say.
City officials have cautioned
landowners in the areas being
tested to “minimize contact with
the soil.”
The city is also retesting soil
samples from 10 sites identified
last week as containing unusually
high lead levels, the officials said.
One of those sites is near the
West Dallas Boys Club where lead
registered 19,172 parts per mil
lion, a figure 60 times the level
considered safe by medical resear
chers.
"I m extremely surprised to
find it was so high, said Ralph
Pahel, director of the Boys Club of
Dallas. “We have kids coming in
there all the time and we need to
be considering them.”
James Blankenship, city en
vironmental health director, said
initial city findings supported En
vironmental Protection Agency
data which found high lead con
tamination levels near a Dixie
Metals smelter and a RSR Corp.
plant.
Blankenship said the city study
confirmed links between high lead
levels in the soil and the operation
of smelters. Until the latest re
