Blood lead levels during pregnancy

International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 1981
A cross-sectional study of the variation of blood-lead levels throughout pregnancy was carried out on 165 women living in a rural area and 19 women living in an urban area. The mean blood-lead levels of both groups did not differ significantly from those of non-pregnant controls (27 rural and 19 urban).

Blood Lead Levels In Victorian Children

Medical Journal of Australia, 1980
A recent study of lead levels in the blood of Sydney schoolchildren purported to show "an alarming situation of epidemic proportions", with up to 24% of children in one survey having blood lead levels greater than 25 microgram/100 mL (1.21 mumol/L). In the present study, 446 Victorian children were tested for lead level in venous blood, showing a mean ...

Blood lead levels in incinerator workers

Environmental Research, 1992
Questions have been raised concerning the safety of mass burn incineration and its role in solid waste management. In 1989, the New York City Office of Occupational Safety and Health examined air levels of metals in New York City incinerators and found that workers were exposed to air lead levels as high as 2500 micrograms/m3 while cleaning the ...

Erythropoiesis, erythropoietin and blood lead levels.

Giornale italiano di medicina del lavoro ed ergonomia, 2009
In a previous study EPO values were significantly lower in exposed subjects (PbB > or =30 mcg/dl) than in controls (PbB" 20 mcg/dl). The aim of the study was to verify if high PbB cause the reduction of EPO in connection with the serum concentration of this hormone expected considering the Hct and hemoglobin (Hb) levels.

Screening for Elevated Blood Lead Levels

Pediatrics, 1998
Although recent data continue to demonstrate a decline in the prevalence of elevated blood lead levels (BLLs) in children, lead remains a common, preventable, environmental health threat. Because recent epidemiologic data have shown that lead exposure is still common in certain communities in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and ...
