Time-Integrated Blood Lead Concentration Is a Valid Surrogate for Estimating the Cumulative Lead Dose Assessed by Tibial Lead Measurement
Abstract
The concentration of lead in tibia (Pb-T) was measured in vivo by a 109Cd K-shell X-ray fluorescence technique in 123 workers from a primary lead smelter (age: mean, 45 years; range, 30-61; duration of employment: mean, 20 years; range, 7-45). Their cumulative blood lead index (CBLI) was also calculated on the basis of the blood lead (Pb-B) records available from the company's medical files. Geometric mean for Pb-T was 49 micrograms Pb/g bone …
