I sh all t alk on the gen eral su bject
of lead absorption and lead poison in g, f i r s t d iscu ssin g
the lead in take and output of
in dividu als outside
the lead trades'. From th at I sh all go oh to the discu ssion
of lead absorption as i t occurs in hazardous occupation s,
and I sh all attempt to defin e the lim it s of lead absorption
and lead excretion which are associat ed with the production
of lead poison in g* In hie course of a number of years we
have been able to e st ab lish the lim it s of lead in take as
seen In the normal American population in a more or le ss
cr oss- sect ion al manner* I sh a ll d iscu ss the sources of
nomaal lead * the qu an t it ies involved and the fat e of such
normally consumed lead compounds in the body* I sh a ll also
show some- of the var iat ion s which are seen in r elat ion to
lead t r ad es, and I sh a ll d efin e,as well as I can, the lim it s
of lead in take by various methods which may now be regarded
as sat in the average normal human bein g*

I sh all'-n ot require anything In the way
of sp e cial equipment except a stereoptlcon lan tern fo r
