Fortunately for most of us here, this is not our first conference on the toxicity of lead, and it becomes increasingly less difficult to place pertinent ideas and data into perspective. We have really come a very long way in our understanding of low-level lead toxicity. How many conferences, symposia, books, review and research articles have there been since that Public Health Service Conference on Environmental Lead Contamination in December of 1965?
