Dear Mr. Kitto:
We are sending herewith the report of analysis
of the spot sample of urins from
The
result is very high and if we may assume that there
has been no contamination of this sample, it is
sufficiently high to suggest recent lead exposure
of dangerous magnitude. In fact, the result is of
such order of magnitude as to be consistent with the
occurrence of symptoms in this man.
As only one sample was obtained, and as the circumstances of collection may have permitted con tamination, the final interpretation of this sample had perhaps best be made when the feces sample that is being collected, has been analyzed.
We would recommend after considering all the results obtained to date on this man, that a sample of blood and a spot sample of urine be obtained ~ again, these to be followed by collection of a large
(3 liter) sample of urine and another single sample of feces,
. .. . .* .j
. .- .
In view of the high values in the spot sample
of urine, I am sending along the report and comments
to you at once. Dr, Kehoe is out of the laboratory
and will return in a week or two, at which time he
may wish to comment further on these results in the
light of his knowledge of the conditions at1your
plant.
Very truly yours.
