| Popis: | Introduction Exposure to lead and cadmium is a public health problem owing to the wide exposure to these toxic substances among the general population. The objective of this study is to determine blood lead and cadmium concentrations in a working population drawn from four university hospitals in Madrid, Getafe, Cartagena and Santiago de Compostela, and to identify associated factors. Materials and Methods A total of 252 subjects took part in the study and were given the standardised PESA® questionnaire on exposure to lead and cadmium. The blood lead and cadmium concentrations were measured by electrothermal atomization atomic absorption spectrometry with Zeeman background correction in Perkin-Elmer spectrometers, guaranteeing the transferability of the results. Results The median overall blood lead concentration was: 2.0 μg/dL ( Interquartile Range (IQR):1.2–3.1) and that of cadmium was: 0.2 μg/L (IQR: 0,1–0,4). The median of lead in post-menopausal women was higher (2.9 μg/dL) than that of pre-menopausal women (1.3 μg/dL) P |
