Relative risks of increased lead absorption found in 31 occupations were investigated. Serial red cell lead measurements on 1319 males and 186 females provided a mean and range for each occupational type. The magnitude of the mean and percentage of raised levels identified the degree of occupational risk. The mean red cell lead for 50% of employees was within the regional usual range for those not occupationally exposed. In 77% the mean red cell lead was less than 4.1 mumol/l. Of the remainder, 4% had levels greater than 5.7 mumol/l and 1% had levels greater than 7.7 mumol/l. Our findings have been used to manage local chronic and acute lead problems. |
