A pilot study in Israel found that lead concentrations in spray paint and painted surfaces in playgrounds and public areas frequently exceeded US safety limits, with 90% of tested surfaces containing lead. Specifically, 22 out of 25 playground surfaces had lead levels above the US threshold, with some surfaces showing concentrations 10 to 700 times higher. The study recommends regulatory measures and public awareness to mitigate lead exposure risks, particularly for children who are vulnerable to lead
