Title Health examination with liver function tests of lead workers
Bibliographic information Sep. 1983, Vol.29, No.1, p.93-97. Illus. 12 ref.
Abstract The average values of the liver function test results for 42 lead workers in a lead refinery were within the normal ranges. There was a correlation between the urinary aminolevulinic acid amount and serum cholinesterase activity. At the levels of atmospheric and blood lead studied (≤0,61mg/m3 and 43,44±21,80µg/100g, respectively) lead has no significant effect on liver function.
