Abstrakt: Evidence is presented for a minimal defect of peripheral nerve function in a group of lead accumulator workers without clinical evidence of a neurological lesion. Of the 19 men examined, 13 had blood levels above 80 mug./100 ml. and seven had haemoglobin levels below 12 g./100 ml., showing that considerable exposure to lead was occurring.
