| Abstract |
The study assessed lead exposure, based on Pb-B determinations, of 2,489 workers employed in 13 different types of industry with exposure to lead, including manufacture of crystal glass, battery manufacture, copper and zinc smelters, and welding in a ship repair yard. Results indicated that exposure to lead continues to be a serious problem in Polish industry. Pb-B levels exceeded the Polish biological exposure index (BEI) of 500µg/L for male workers in about 30% of cases. 65% of the women under 45 years of age presented Pb-B levels higher than the 300µg/L recommended as the BEI for this age group. Topics: lead; determination in blood; exposure evaluation; job-exposure relation; limitation of exposure; Poland. |
