Lead concentrations in airborne particulates and blood in the area of Thessaloniki, Greece

Measurement of blood‐lead levels in school children of Jeddah Saudi Arabia and assessment of sub‐toxic levels of lead on some sensitive hematological parameters

“…Children are more sensitive to lead than adults. For some children a reduction in hemoglobin may occur at a blood-lead level of approximately 40 ug/dl (5)-In a recent paper, it has been quoted that the upper limit of blood-lead level considered to be safe for children is 35 ug/dl (6). The initial minimum threshold value of 30 ug Pb/dl blood for children given by the Center for Disease Control, USA (7) has now been revised to 25 ug/dl (8).…”
