Westwood Avenue Toledo, Ohio Bei Results reported on July 25, 1951 Dear Doctor- Meyers The results as. a.'group demonstrate that the? conditions of occupational exposure to lead, which are being investigated are veil controlled. In the main there is little or no definite .. evidence of 1ead abserption among these men. The outstanding except ion to the "rule is- that of- whose .blood level is elevated slightly, -(\rithip safe limits) and whose urinary lead v concentration is cbmewhat above the .upper normal :limit for samples ' of, such volume (o.14 mg./Li is about the top normal value, although occasional.concentrated samples may run'a little above this figure. This result 0-.15 has: no very groat significance in itself, hut assumes some.' significance in association with the figure 0.06 mg./ . 100 g. in the blood). i ' It Is suggested that some pactions investigation of the conditions -of -work or the work.habits) o f .this man might be made .. Certainly \ there is nothing to justify arousing his anxiety or that _of others employed in the work. However, some factor might be found which could readily be corrected. ;; , .
