SANTOS, Lucídio de Souza. Determinação de chumbo em amostras de fluídos biológicos e ambientais. Ciência educ. [online]. 1996, vol.02, pp.54-56. ISSN 1516-7313.

This paper is on the determination of inorganic lead in biological fluids samples and the possibility of biological monitoring of the exposure. The main route of aborption in occupational exposure is the respiratory apparatus. Derangement in heme synthesis is currently considered the first adverse effect associated to the increasing of lead in soft tissues. Individual blood lead levels in workers should not exceed 60µg/100ml. A vaste number of tests permits an evaluation of the exposure degree; blood analysis and toxical effect are available for the monitoring of lead in workers.

Keywords : Lead; Environmental; Toxicity; Biological Fluids.
