The Interaction of Lead Exposure and Pregnancy

Asia Pacific Journal of Public Health, 1992
The 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, 1994
The 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.

Exposure to lead of the Belgian population

International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 1983
According 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 ...

Paternal Exposure to Lead and Infertility

Epidemiology, 2000
To 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.

Environmental lead exposure and the kidney

Journal of Toxicology: Clinical Toxicology, 1988
Lead 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.

Lead Exposure Control in the Production of Leaded Steel

American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, 1963
Abstract Leaded steel is produced by adding controlled amounts of lead shot to the stream of molten steel during the teeming operation. The process is described with a system of special hoods for the removal of lead fume by exhaust ventilation. Urinary lead values are given for exposed workers. The control system has proven very effective.

Childhood Exposure to Environmental Lead

1974
1 to 5% of urban adults have blood lead values ≥ 40 μgPb/100 ml whole blood whereas approximately 25% of urban children have blood leads at this level. The metabolic exposure (μgPb/kg body weight) of children is over three times adult exposure for assumed normal absorption and ingestion of lead and twice the exposure of adults for inhaled lead.

The International Dimensions of Lead Exposure

International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health, 1995
Lead poisoning is among the most prevalent and serious preventable diseases of occupational and environmental origin. Many sources contribute to human exposures, and the residues from past uses continue to present risks due to contamination of dusts, soils, and drinking water.
