How much lead is hiding in Philly’s former industrial neighborhoods?

How much lead is hiding in Philly’s former industrial neighborhoods?

A drawing of a large rectangular brick building. The single building has sections of various floor sized, with black roof slopped at different angles. There are train tracks in the foreground of the building and a train is emitting smoke on the tracks. The factory has three chimneys, which are expelling black smoke. In the background of the image are rough sketches of buildings and churches.
