elevated (above the mean normal level of 0.03 - 0.01), and are
value
representative of potentially dangerous absorption of lead. James Garrison is in the
dubiously dangerous level, and it may be supposed (not necessarily true) that the
severity of his present exposure is such as to put him at a higher level of absorption
(if he continues) in a short time. In any case, the exposure of the five men listed
first above is too great for safety and should be reduced materially at once, if
possible. It cannot be said certainly that any of these men will show any signs or
symptoms of lead poisoning, now or soon, but, on the other hand, it cannot be said
that they will not, for lead poisoning has its onset at this level sometimes.
The three men, whose results are listed on page 2 of this report, are now at dangerous levels of lead absorption. Their exposure to lead should be greatly reduced at once, preferably by being transferred to work entirely free of exposure to lead. However, if work can be found that involves a large reduction in their exposure to lead, they may well escape lead poisoning and at the same time avoid loss of their job
