Assessment of exposure to lead through air and biological monitoring in a lead and zinc mine
Background and aim: Lead is ubiquitous and one of the earliest metals discovered by the human. This metal is widely used in different industries due to its important physico-chemical properties like softness, high malleability, ductility, low melting point and resistance to corrosion. Lead absorbed in body with several routs and when transfer in blood is primarily in red blood cells. Human exp...
متن کاملMONITORING OF LEAD POISONING IN SIMPLE WORKERS OF A COPYING CENTER BY FLAME ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY
Inorganic lead compounds are used most widely in paint and pigment industries. Because of exposure to lead dust in workers in a copying center, we compared blood lead levels in these workers to normal individuals and investigated the relationship between job tenures of the workers and their blood lead levels. This survey was performed on 20 simple workers in a copying center of Tehran Univ...
متن کاملEffects of low level exposure to lead on neurophysiological functions among lead battery workers.
OBJECTIVES Assessment of neurophysiological functions in workers with low level exposure to lead and evaluation of the efficacy of bone lead measurements in the prediction of effects of lead. METHODS Exposure to lead of 60 workers from a lead battery battery factory was estimated from historical blood lead measurements and analysis of lead in the tibial and calcaneal bones with x ray fluoresc...
متن کاملEffect of exposure to lead on postural control in workers.
OBJECTIVES To examine the effect of lead on postural control of workers who have been exposed to lead. METHODS 63 Male, lead battery workers mean (SD) age 41.0 (7.4) were compared with 48 age matched male controls after excluding those with acute or chronic diseases. Exposed workers had mean (SD) past blood lead concentrations of 37.5 (9.2) micrograms/dl and 11.2 (5.7) years of employment. Po...
متن کاملThe exposure to lead of workers in the pigment industry.
In order to obtain more data on the effect of inhalation plumbiferous dust by workers, a systematic examination was organized in a number of pigment factories in the Netherlands. Some experience had been gained from a former examination of an analogous nature held in factories where lead accumulators were manufactured.. Based on this examination, and after discussion in a committee on which sev...
