Predictors of dimercaptosuccinic acid chelatable lead and tibial lead in former organolead manufacturing workers.
OBJECTIVES To identify predictors of tibial and dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) chelatable lead in 543 organolead manufacturing workers with past exposure to organic and inorganic lead. METHODS In this cross sectional study, tibial lead (by 109Cd K-shell x ray fluorescence), DMSA chelatable lead (4 hour urinary lead excretion after oral administration of 10 mg/kg), and several exposure measure...
متن کاملBlood lead levels of Korean lead workers in 2003–2011
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to document the trend in blood lead levels in Korean lead workers from 2003 until 2011 and blood lead levels within each of the main industries. METHODS Nine years (2003-2011) of blood lead level data measured during a special health examination of Korean lead workers and collected by the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency were analyzed. Blood lead levels ...
متن کاملBlood lead levels and anemia in lead exposed workers.
The effects of lead on haematological parameters were studied in 51 occupationally exposed individuals comprising of 27 lead furnace workers, 24 lead pellet handlers and 20 healthy age and service matched controls. Blood lead levels were estimated by atomic absorption spectrometer AAS-180-80 and haematological parameters by Technicon H.1 system. The lead furnace workers had highest blood lead l...
متن کاملLead induced increase of blood pressure in female lead workers.
AIMS Although lead exposure has, in the absence of mathematical modelling, been believed to elevate blood pressure in females, it is necessary to clarify the relation between lead and blood pressure by eliminating confounding factors in the analysis. METHODS Blood lead was measured in 193 female workers, including 123 lead exposed workers. Possible confounding factors were controlled by multi...
متن کاملAssessment of the body burden of chelatable lead: a model and its application to lead workers.
A hypothetical model was introduced to estimate the body burden of chelatable lead from the mobilisation yield of lead by calcium disodium ethylenediamine tetra-acetate (CaEDTA). It was estimated that, on average, 14 and 19% of the body burden was mobilised into the urine during the 24 hours after an injection of 53.4 mumol (20 mg) and 107 mumol (40 mg) CaEDTA per kg bodyweight, respectively. T...
