Research Proposal (Explanation)
Than aoaoa to bo llttlo doubt that pa1st films containing 0.^ lb on tbai drlad aolldo would ba toxic to a child ifi
1) Iha child ingested * 11 ea* of thick (0.089 |i./a>l) peine fllaa par day for long parioda of tiao.
2) All of tha load in dia paint fila could ba extracted froo tho paine flla by digestive flulda.
3) Ibxlcity ia defined aa any Incraaee in blood load level above Id) ^g/ 100 nl, tho aarfana neraal laval.
the quaetIona, than, that should bo ananorod by a definitive raaaarch project would aoaa to at least Include tbs following!
l) How auch loose paint chips does a child who baa plea and has paine chips avallabia actually aatT
8) How wall can tha dlgsacivo fluids sxcraee load fron o paint chip that has boon palvorlaad only to tha extant that a child with pica would pulverise a paint chip Pham anting itf
3) Can anneal retardation (idiich scans to bo die clinical synpton nose snapactsd fron low -- JD4) |ig/10C nl -- blood lead-lersls) bo studied in test aninelsT
Thorn are other gnesclana that should ba posad particularly with respeat to the toxicologleal offsets of substitata driers and to tho effect of load "free" paint filns on old high lead points - but those will bo discussed later.
Iha nrgwonts advanced by 9c. Horry Hag supporting the Ingestion of ~ ll of thick point filn per day by children with plea appear to bo odbjoet to a geod deal of possible oner. As srgunsnt depends an tho density (Orads 3) of x-xnya of cbildxon who how saean "nibbtsh" end the aasunption ehot all of tha dually resulea fron the presence of land ia tha a touch.
