Conclusion: No significant differences were observed between the areas. The single-factor and multifactor analyses showed that the BPb levels increased with age and were associated with the consumption of local horticultural products and with employment in the metallurgy sector. The UCd levels also increased with age, and higher levels were observed in the upper social classes as well as in women and smokers. The UCr levels were higher in areas at a distance from the MUSWTP and in the upper classes, and UHg levels were higher in women than in men.
