Kehoe, M.D. Department of Environmental Health College of Medicine University of Cincinnati Cincinnati, Ohio 45219 Dear Dr. Kehoe: In discussing this problem with Don Fowler at Lead Industries Association, Inc., he suggested I write you directly since you and I have had several conversations and associations relating to the lead problem. As you undoubtedly know, there has been a resurgence of suggestions of health hazard resulting from alleged accumulation of lead in the bone. As an example, see the attached recent clipping from the Washington Star. In your comments published in the Journal of Occupational Medicine, February 1968, there is this observation: "The author presumes that changes in body pH and/or negative calcium balance shortly before his illness resulted in the out pouring of lead from bone into circulation to cause his acute illness. The hypothesis of the 'mobilization' of lead from the skeleton by such metabolic disturbances has been dis credited these many years, and can now safely be said to be entirely fallacious." I refer particularly to the second sentence and would like to know if you could give me one or two specific references of either your own or someone else's work which relates to the discrediting of the hypothesis of mobilization of lead from the skeleton. It's very possible that a memorandum based on the scientific literature could be very useful if there is continued suggestion that lead accumulation in bones is established as a health hazard. I hope that you will be able to help us on this without imposing too much on your time. CT:sdd cc: Mr. Don G. Fowler |0& I 00501 THE EVENING STAR Washington, D. C.
