  • Title: [Environmental lead pollution. An epidemiologic study in road gasoline station workers (author's transl)].
    Author: Rotunno R, Tarantino M, Bonsignore D.
    Journal: Lav Um; 1976 May; 28(3):65-72. PubMed ID: 1011912.
    Abstract:
    Erythrocyte ALA-D and urinary coproporphyrins were investigated in 29 road gasoline station workers in order to detect a possible abnormal lead absorption. The ALA-D test represents the most sensitive laboratory device to detect both abnormal lead absorption and possible initial lesions due to lead poisoning. Using the above mentioned laboratory tests evidence of abnormal lead absorption was found in five of the examined subjects. Some remarks on prevention of possible lead intoxication are done.
