|
For the purpose of obtaining of an effective biological monitoring data in terms of evaluating the health consequences of lead absorption, the female workers in the electronic industry who have been exposed to low-level lead occupationally were chosen as the subjects of our studies.
We observed the 9 parameters in not only 305 lead-exposed female workers who have been exposed to lead occupationally also 254 normal female subjects who have not been. exposed to lead occupationally.
The parameters chosen for this study were as follows, blood lead(PbB), urine Iead(PbU), o-aminolevulinic acid in urine(ALAU), coproporphyrin in urine(CPU), zinc protoporphyrin in whole blood(ZPP), hemoglobin(Hb), hematocrit(Ht), 5-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) activity & ALAD activity ratio(A/R; absorbance at substrate pH 6.6/absorbanceat substrate pH 5. 8).
The results obtained were as follows:
1. The average age of the lead-exposed female workers in the electronic industry and in. the normal female subjects were 20. 5 4. 2years and 21. 7 3. 5years, respectively.
2. The average work duration of the lead-exposed female workers in the electronic ind ustry was 26. 419. 4months.
3. The mean value of PbB of the lead-exposed female workers in the electronic industry and in the normal female subjects were 30.186.64feg/looml and 21.613.84feg/100ml. respectively. .
4. In the lead-exposed female workers of the electronic industry and of the normal female subjects, the mean value of ZPP were 36.220.69feg/looml and 24.647.21feg/100m1, respectively.
