Abstract:During the last 20 years a number of studies have been carried out to investigate
the neurobehaviourai effects of occupational exposure to lead. These
studies suggest that subtle effects on intellectual functioning may occur at
exposure levels below those currently considered in many countries to be sufficient
to protect workers from harm. This paper critically reviews the evidence
from these studies and considers the case for reviewing the position on standards
for exposure to lead in the workplace.
