  • Title: Elevated blood lead levels in adults--United States, second quarter, 1992.
    Author: Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
    Journal: MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep; 1992 Sep 25; 41(38):715-6. PubMed ID: 1522838.
    Abstract:
    In the United States, more than 95% of elevated blood lead levels (BLLs) in adults result from workplace exposure (1). Beginning with this issue of MMWR, CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) will report on a quarterly basis summary results of state-based surveillance programs for elevated BLLs (greater than or equal to 25 micrograms/dL) among adults (Table 1). In addition to the 18 states with blood lead surveillance programs previously reported (2), three other states maintain such activities, including Arizona (physician reporting of BLLs greater than or equal to 25 micrograms/dL, all ages), Florida (laboratory reporting of BLLs greater than or equal to 10 micrograms/dL, all ages), and Nebraska (laboratory reporting of BLLs greater than or equal to 10 micrograms/dL, all ages).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
