| Abstract |
Calcium-EDTA (CaEDTA) was administered weekly at 20mg/kg for 3.5 years after termination of occupational exposure to two male lead workers. The diminution half-lives for lead in blood and urine lead mobilized by CaEDTA were 4.8 and 3.3 years, respectively, for one subject after 28 years exposure and 3.3 and 2.0 years for the other subject after 26 years exposure. The difference in the diminution rate between lead in blood and lead mobilized by CaEDTA was significant in the second subject. |
