| Abstract |
Results of chromosome studies in 10 workers acutely exposed to lead in the ceramics and glass industries, and 10 controls. Exposed workers had all the symptoms of lead poisoning (high blood and urinary lead levels, stipple cells, etc.), and a high number of chromosome aberrations (dicentric, acentric fragments, centric rings) in the lymphocytes and bone marrow. Similar studies in chronically exposed workers showed no excessive aberrations. |
