MONITORING 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 کاملPredictors 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 and haemoglobin in lead absorption.
a low haemoglobin but none had symptoms or signs that were likely to be due to lead absorption. A further i8 men had haemoglobins of 89% (13 g./Ioo ml.) or less. None was thought to be low due to lead absorption. The absence of symptoms, signs, and low haemoglobins in association with relatively high blood leads is unlikely to be due to errors in blood lead or haemoglobin estimation. Alternativ...
متن کاملLead absorption in children of employees in a lead-related industry.
Children can be exposed to lead from a variety of environmental sources. It has been repeatedly reported that children of employees in a lead-related industry are at increased risk of lead absorption because of the high levels of lead found in the household dust of these workers. A case-control study was done in Oklahoma in 1978 to determine whether children of employees in battery manufacturin...
متن کاملAbsorption of Lead Ions by Various Types of Steel Slag
Steel slags are the by products of steel industries, which forms during reduction process of iron melting. The chemical composition of it changes depending to the melting procedure. Its mineralogical composition also varies based on the cooling procedure. Two different types of steel slag were used as absorbing bed for various concentrations of Pb2+ ions in the form of lead chlor...
