| Resumen |
Following a review of the difference between primary prevention (monitoring of threshold limits at the workplace) and secondary prevention (monitoring internal stress), parameters are listed of internal stress and the resultant strain, and look at the diagnostic value of these parameters in assessng the biological effects of lead exposure. Urinary ALA is the most important diagnostic indicator. Following consideration of the neurological and mental effects of lead exposure and their value in preventive monitoring, an analysis is made of the concept of personal prevention based on biologically acceptable threshold (BAT) values. The biologically tolerable levels recommended (70µg/dl for blood lead and 15mg for urinary ALA) should ensure an adequate safety margin. The clinical picture of lead poisoning is described together with its 3 successive phases and the corresponding medical measures. Problems of case assessment and recommendations for monitoring lead-exposed workers. |
