Abstrakt: The article presents a study on the urinary excretion of total and inorganic lead in tetraethyllead (TEL) exposed workers. Alkyl lead species, particularly tetraethyllead have been used as antiknock agents in gasoline for more than 50 years through out the world. Occupational exposure to TEL may occur during the production, transport and mixing of TEL with gasoline and by the cleaning procedure of leaded gasoline storage tanks. Motor mechanics who use gasoline to clean their hand may be particularly at risk.
