Surveys were conducted on three traffic-less islands: Tory and Aran, off the coast of Ireland, and Sark, one of the Channel Islands off the coast of France. Identical methods were used in surveys in three other areas, all of which have heavy gasoline driven traffic. These were Jersey, another of the Channel Islands, Ebbw Vale--a mixed industrial area, and Cardiff--the capital city of Wales. Environmental lead levels were very low in two of the traffic-less islands, but on the third, house dust lead levels were comparable with levels found throughout Wales. Blood lead levels on one of the islands were similar to those which have been reported for unaccultured remote tribes, but on the other two traffic-less islands blood lead levels were comparable with those of areas on the mainland of Wales.
爱尔兰海岸外的托里岛和阿兰岛，以及法国海岸外海峡群岛之一的萨克岛。在其他三个地区的调查中使用了相同的方法，这三个地区都有大量汽油驱动的交通。它们是海峡群岛的另一个岛屿泽西岛、埃布韦尔谷（一个混合工业区）和威尔士首府加的夫。在两个没有交通的岛屿上，环境铅含量非常低，但在第三个岛屿上，房屋灰尘中的铅含量与威尔士各地发现的水平相当。其中一个岛屿上的血铅水平与未开化的偏远部落报告的水平相似，但在另外两个没有交通的岛屿上，血铅水平与威尔士大陆地区的水平相当。
