Resumen |
Medical examination of 266 patenting-shop workers in a Brazilian wire drawing plant revealed 90 cases of chronic lead poisoning of different degrees. These cases could have been prevented by engineering measures designed to reduce the amount of lead stripped off the patented wire and to control the dust at the reels. The clinical symptoms for diagnosis of lead poisoning are detailed, and complementary examinations (determination of urinary coproporphyrin, urinary ALA, complete haemogramme with reticulocyte count and evidence of erythrocyte stippling, biochemical blood analysis) are dealt with. Comments on the diminution of lead poisoning cases in this plant during the past 5 years owing to medical prevention. |
