Title Assessment of renal function of workers simultaneously exposed to inorganic lead and cadmium.
Bibliographic information May 1981, Vol.23, No.5, p.348-352. Illus. 4 ref.
Abstract 62 workers exposed to both metals were examined. Results were compared with those in 3 other groups: exposed to lead only, cadmium only, and controls.
