TL;DR: The relationship between a frequently used wipe dust collection method and a vacuum-based in-line filter method used to collect dust in a national survey of lead in paint and dust in U.S. housing is characterized and the resulting increase in the estimated prevalence of homes with elevated dust lead loadings is discussed.

Comparison of two cyclone-based collection devices for the evaluation of lead-containing residential dusts
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared performance characteristics and potential biases of two portable cyclone devices via replicate samplings of three different and well-characterized dusts which covered the range of particle sizes expected in house dust (0.9-2000 μm).

Evaluation of cleaning methods applied in home environments after renovation and remodeling activities
TL;DR: It is recommended that contractors or homeowners can use a household vacuum cleaner and a household detergent to clean lead-contaminated environments after R&R activities when HUD-recommended equipment is not available.

Comparison of Wipe and Cyclone Methods for the Determination of Lead in Residential Dusts
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared estimates of lead loadings (PbD, milligrams per square meter) based on a frequently used wipe dust collection method with those of a high volume cyclone sampling device and found that the correlation of the natural logarithms of the cyclone and wipe PbD estimates was 0.90.
