Abstract
143 permanent teeth of individuals aged 14-60 yr from a non-occupationally exposed population in northern Israel were analysed for lead accumulation in a atomic absorption spectrophotometer graphite-furnace. A significant correlation was established between lead level and age. No gender correlation was found. The results suggest that any study dealing with lead accumulation in different populations has to compare groups of the same age range, ignoring the sex of the individuals.Entities:
