The Relationship between Blood Lead Level and Neuro-psychological and Hematological Findings in Lead-Exposed Workers of Battery Industry
Background: Hematological effects and digestive and neuro-psychological signs and symptoms are some manifestations of lead toxicity. However, there are conflicting reports of their prevalence among lead exposed workers and their relationship with blood lead levels (BLL). This case- control study assessed the relationship between BLL and hematological indexes and digestive (abdominal colic, ir...
متن کاملA survey to evaluate the association between blood lead level and blood pressure among workers employed in factory manufacturing lead acid-storage batteries
Background: There are many controversies reported about the association between blood lead levels and blood pressure among lead exposed workers. Studies have suggested incorporating lifestyle factors along with blood lead levels. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of lead exposure on blood pressure changes among lead exposed workers in contemplation of lifestyle factors. Mater...
متن کاملBlood Lead Levels and Health Problems of Lead Acid Battery Workers in Bangladesh
INTRODUCTION Use of lead acid battery (LAB) in Bangladesh has risen with sharp rise of motor vehicles. As result, manufacture of LAB is increasing. Most of the lead used by these industries comes from recycling of LAB. Workers in LAB industry are at risk of exposure lead and thus development of lead toxicity. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to measure the blood lead concentration an...
متن کاملThe relationship of blood lead levels to blood pressure in the U.S. population.
Numerous observations have indicated a relationship between moderate or heavy lead exposure and high blood pressure. To determine whether low-level lead exposure is related to blood pressure in the U.S. population, we analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey II for persons 12 to 74 years of age. Significant correlations were found between blood lead and blood pres...
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...
