Lead concentrations in household drinking water were matched with blood lead levels in 46 women of childbearing age (37 of whom were pregnant) who reside within the city of Milwaukee. The women represented a geographically diverse sample. Water lead concentrations ranged from less than 10 micrograms/L (65% of all homes studied) to 160 micrograms/L. None o the women tested had blood lead levels within the range most recently designated by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) as "at risk" for the developing fetus (greater than or equal to 10 micrograms/dL). Within the limits of this study, there was no biologically significant correlation between blood lead and drinking water lead levels, suggesting that household water in Milwaukee with first-draw lead concentrations above EPA standards, either proposed or current, may have little or no biological effect.
对居住在密尔沃基市的46名育龄妇女（其中37名怀孕）的家庭饮用水铅浓度与血铅水平进行了匹配。这些妇女代表了一个地域分布广泛的样本。水铅浓度范围从低于10微克/升（占所有研究家庭的65%）到160微克/升。所有接受检测的妇女的血铅水平均不在疾病控制中心（CDC）最近指定的对发育中的胎儿“有风险”的范围内（大于或等于10微克/分升）。在本研究的范围内，血铅与饮用水铅水平之间没有生物学上的显著相关性，这表明密尔沃基市首次抽取的铅浓度高于美国环境保护局（EPA）标准（无论是提议的还是现行的）的家庭用水可能几乎没有生物学影响。
