Abstract |
This monograph summarises information regarding releases of lead into the environment and the ensuing environmental and human exposures, the way various countries perceive the risks associated with exposure to lead and the actions taken by those countries and industry to reduce the risks. Information on the benefits, in terms of protection of human health and the environment that could result from taking such actions, is presented where available. Industries where occupational exposure to lead may occur are listed and a table shows exposure limits in each country studied. Detailed summary in French. |
