My comments will be brief because I am sure Dr. Kehoe will want to discuss the results perhaps in greater detail on his return. Briefly t h e r ^ ^ j n ^ ^ a d content of the blood and urine of only one man, is within a clearly safe range in reference The concentrations o f ^ e a d i j ^ j h e blood and the urine of both ~ fend ^ H H H H | a r e in a dangerous range consistent with intoxicatTor^ffflrwith current absorption. The concentrations of lead In the blood of the five remaining men are at about the threshold where certainly no further lead absorption should be tolerated ivithout the threat of trouble. The results of the urine are in general consistant with those of the blood and reflect current absorption. With the exception o f ^ m H H f all of these men should be removed from any area where exposure to lead is anticipated. Sincerely, LWS:ac Enclosures cc: Dr. Kehoe Lester W.
