Cumulative blood lead levels and nerve conduction parameters.
Most studies on the effects of lead on the peripheral nerves used "current' blood lead levels of the workers and infer the nerve conduction's findings to it. This practice is not ideal as the toxicity of lead on the peripheral nerves occurs over a period of time. Seventy-two workers in a lead battery manufacturing factory and 82 referents were studied with the aim of (1) correlating the nerve c...
متن کاملAn experimental study on nerve conduction velocities and biochemical parameters in lead-administered rats.
An experimental study was carried out to clarify the relationships between lead exposure and the changes in nerve conduction velocities or in porphyrin metabolism in rats. The rats in Groups A, B and C received intraperitoneal lead injections in respective doses of 0, 0.2 and 2.0 mg/kg of lead, once a week for 22 weeks. During the experiment, all rats grew normally, and there was no significant...
متن کاملBlood lead levels and mortality.
BACKGROUND Despite declines in blood lead levels during the past 20 years, lead exposure continues to be a public health concern. Studies have linked lead exposure with increased risk for diverse health outcomes. Few studies have evaluated the association of lead exposure and mortality in the general population. METHODS To evaluate the association of lead exposure and mortality in the United ...

متن کاملCumulative concentrations of blood lead and postural stability.
OBJECTIVE To study the association in a group of battery manufacturing workers between computerised postural sway parameters and present concentrations of blood lead (PPb), index of cumulative blood lead years (CBI), and cumulative blood lead at different years of exposure (CPbYs). METHODS Postural stability was investigated with a computerised postural sway measurement system in 60 workers e...
