Community lead exposure

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.

Lead exposure in ironworkers

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

Lead Aprons Are a Lead Exposure Hazard

Journal of the American College of Radiology, 2017
To 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 ...

Fetal lead exposure: Antenatal factors

Environmental Research, 1985
It was hypothesized that maternal blood lead level at delivery and cord blood lead level of the neonate would be affected by maternal use of alcohol, history of alcohol abuse, and smoking. The possibility that iron status, as reflected in maternal serum ferritin, would be related to lead level was also explored.

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.

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.
