Dear hr. Daniels s
V& have been advised that you are in a position to furnish i n f o m a t i o n concerning oranges and grapefruit.
Our laboratory has been engaged in a study o the lead excnotion of indi Lattai having
no known exposure to lead. During the course of
h a have had occasion to analyze 2lj. hour accumtil tions of food to deterrain the total amount of lead entering the subjdct by this avenue. ?h results have prompted a further study of l'eliable sarao j es of the various constituents vihich make up -Xhe *average diet. Rather than make analyses of large numbers of rondara sarapl js, v?e would like to obtain
feu samples which would represent a cross section of a large amount of fruit. We have no intention to incriminate the citrus fruits as dangerous lead carriers, we wish to determine to what extent, if any these fruits contributo to the lead intake.
'Gill you inform us how we may obtain
proper samples. Thank you for your courtesy and
cooperation.
..
Very truly yours,
EffTXS
