Cardno ChemRisk’s publication “A human health risk assessment of lead (Pb) ingestion among adult wine consumers” was recently named one of the top three highly accessed articles in the International Journal of Food Contamination.  Cardno ChemRisk scientists analyzed Pb concentration in wines and modeled adult blood lead levels from wine consumption under various exposure scenarios based on national dietary survey data. Overall, our findings suggest that Pb content in wine does not pose a health risk to adult wine consumers.  You can read our original blog about this paper here.
