Abstract excerpt
To study the immunological effects of low-level occupational exposure to lead, we have examined the phenotypic parameters and functional integrity of peripheral blood lymphocytes in a group of firearms instructors and compared the data to those obtained from healthy unexposed controls. Our results indicate that, among individuals with mildly elevated blood lead levels (> 25 micrograms/dl), detrimental effects on...
