| Abstract |
Glass-ceramic cements are mixtures containing red lead which are used widely in the manufacture of television sets. LD50, LD16 and LD84 values were lower for cement dust and for a dust mixture representing the components of the cement than they were for pure red lead, which suggests that other components have toxic effects which are additive with those of red lead. However, the effect of cement dust administration on the internal organs of rats and mice was indistinguishable from that of lead; no marked fibrogenic action was observed. Thus, glass-ceramic cement dust can be treated as an inorganic lead compound for regulatory purposes. A MAC of 0.01mg/m3 and an average 8-hour exposure limit of 0.007mg/m3 (as lead) are recommended. |
