Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST 3wtd6R0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Levels of lead in bone serve as a dosimeter for cumulative exposure to lead ; moreover, lead in bone may serve as an internal source of circulating lead many years after environmental exposure has ceased. The authors measured lead in blood and used a K-x-ray fluorescence instrument to measure lead in the tibia (cortical) and patella (trabecular) bones in a cross-sectional survey of 719 middle-aged to elderly male participants in the Normative Aging Study who were without unusual occupational exposures to lead and who were healthy when enrolled in 1962-1965. Blood lead levels ranged from |
