Title The lead exposure hazard - Information supplied by the COLCHIC chemical exposure data base
Original title Le risque saturnin - Informations fournies par la base de données COLCHIC [in French]

Abstract In France, the results of sampling of products in use and of air contaminants in workplaces are fed into the COLCHIC national database on exposure to chemicals. Analysis of the data thus collected can provide a picture of lead pollution in the industrial workplaces surveyed. From the point of view of exposure assessment, the basis for a general job-exposure matrix is provided by the results of the personal samples taken. The atmospheric sample results indicate those work situations where priority preventive action is needed.
