Semen quality of men employed at a lead smelter.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of recent and long term occupational lead exposure on indicators of male reproductive health. METHODS In a cross sectional study of male employees of a lead smelter (n = 2469), blood samples were obtained from 152 workers including 119 who also provided semen samples.

متن کاملKidney effects in long term exposed lead smelter workers.
Occupational exposure to lead may cause kidney damage. This study was carried out on a cohort of 70 active and 30 retired long term exposed lead smelter workers. Their kidney function was compared with 31 active and 10 retired truck assembly workers who had no occupational exposure to lead. The lead workers had been regularly followed up with measurements of lead concentration in blood since 19...
متن کاملMortality and cancer incidence among secondary lead smelter workers.
OBJECTIVES To examine the mortality pattern and the cancer incidence in a cohort of long term smelter workers exposed to lead. METHODS The cohort consists of 664 male lead battery workers, employed for at least three months in 1942-87. From 1969 the values of all blood lead samples repeatedly obtained from these workers every two to three months, have been collected in a database. The expecte...
متن کاملChildhood lead poisoning from the smelter in Torreón, México.
Lead concentrations and isotopic compositions in blood samples of 34 children (ages 2-17 years) living within a 113 km(2) area of a silver-zinc-lead smelter plant in Torreón, México were compared to those of associated environmental samples (soil, aerosols, and outdoor and indoor dust) to identify the principal source(s) of environmental and human lead contamination in the area. Lead concentrat...
متن کاملLead and hypertension in a mortality study of lead smelter workers.

Excess mortality from cerebrovascular disease (1,4,5) and other forms of hypertensive vascu-lopathy (6), as well as from chronic renal disease (4-7), have been found in previous studies of lead smelter and battery workers. To assess the epidemiology of death potentially asso...
