Résumé :	[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST av5R0xlE. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Elevated lead levels were discovered in blood samples collected from family members where both the father and the mother worked in a radiator repair workshop. The father and mother were found to have blood lead levels of 2.0 and 0.5 mumol/L (41.7 and 10.4 mug/dL), respectively. The father's blood lead level was just below the Canadian occupational health and safety intervention level (2.5 mumol/L or 52.1 mug/dL). The two children had blood lead levels of 1.0 and 0.8 mumol/L (20.8 and 16.7 mug/dL), both of which are in excess of the recommended guideline for intervention in the case of children (0.5 mumol/L or 10.4 mug/dL). The exposure of the two children was possibly due to a combination of pathways including exposure at the workshop itself during visits and also the transportation of lead-containing dust to the home environment.
