Abstract
Whole blood lead (Pb-B), urinary delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA-U) and free erythrocyte protoporphyrin (FEP) were measured in three groups of workers (n = 196) with different degrees of exposure to lead, and one group of men with no previous exposure to the metal (n = 48). Inter-group comparison showed a correlation of r = 0.73 between Pb-B and log of ALA-U, and r = 0.91 between Pb-B and log of FEP. ALA-U and FEP values rose sharply after Pb-B values reached 450-500 micrograms/l.Entities:
