American Journal of Industrial Medicine, 1997
In adults, lead toxicity is most commonly caused by occupation in a lead industry. Whereas lead toxicity has been described in workers who are involved in bridge rehabilitation, as of this date there has been no systematic evaluation published regarding the conditions responsible for lead toxicity in ironworkers. This is a report of a study designed to

THE EXPOSURE OF CHILDREN TO LEAD
Pediatrics, 1956A study of some environmental, behavioral and social factors in the production of lead poisoning in children in an urban community has been reported. Most significant among the environmental data presented were the magnitude of the exposure to lead from repetitive ingestion of small quantities of leaded-paint flakes, and the role of the ...

Lead Aprons Are a Lead Exposure Hazard
Journal of the American College of Radiology, 2017To determine whether lead-containing shields have lead dust on the external surface.Institutional review board approval was obtained for this descriptive study of a convenience sample of 172 shields. Each shield was tested for external lead dust via a qualitative rapid on-site test and a laboratory-based quantitative dust wipe analysis, flame atomic ...

Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 1977
Since 1972. several important reviews of lead toxicology have been published (1-3), as well as proceedings of two major conferences (4, 5). One of the reviews (I) was written specifically as a resource document for promulgating air lead standards. In a similar vein, the World Health Organization convened a task force in May 1975 to prepare a document ...

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, 1993
AbstractIn August, 1990, a regional transit authority began removing paint on two overhead bridges on a commuter railroad line running through a residential neighborhood of Lynn, Massachusetts, an industrial city north of Boston. The contracted work involved the sandblasting of existing bridge paint to prepare the surface for repainting.

The Interaction of Lead Exposure and Pregnancy
Asia Pacific Journal of Public Health, 1992The toxic effects of low-level lead exposure have been the subject of a good deal of research and media attention in recent times. In most countries, the acceptable occupational exposure limit for lead is being progressively decreased as the adverse health effects of lead are being identified at levels approaching those found in non-occupational ...

Chronic lead exposure and pregnancy
International Journal of Risk and Safety in Medicine, 1994The objective of the study was to determine the effect of chronic lead exposure on pregnancy and the newborn. Cord blood was assayed for blood lead levels (PbB) in a randomly selected group of 82 Maltese newborns. Twenty-eight (34.1%) neonates had a PbB level greater than 200 μg/l.

Paternal Exposure to Lead and Infertility
Epidemiology, 2000To assess whether paternal exposure to lead is associated with infertility, we performed a register-based study among married men biologically monitored for exposure to inorganic lead. We obtained information about the marriages and the wives of the men from the Finnish Central Population Register. Data on pregnancies were obtained from medical records.

Exposure to lead of the Belgian population
International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 1983According to the Council Directive of 29 March 1977 on biological screening of the population for lead, the blood-lead levels (PbB) were determined in samples of the Belgian population not occupationally exposed to this metal. Two campaigns of sampling were performed: the first one in 1979 (1678 samples analysed) and the second in 1981 (1000 samples ...

Environmental lead exposure and the kidney
Journal of Toxicology: Clinical Toxicology, 1988Lead and its components remain widely distributed in the environment and in some workplaces. Lead serves no useful physiological function, yet is potentially toxic to several organ systems. For many years human health effects have been recognized after heavy lead exposure.
