Occupational lead exposure in gasoline station forecourt attendants and other occupations in relation to ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) risk

2023-06-01

Abstract excerpt

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an always fatal neurodegenerative disease characterised by a gradual death of motor neurons in the spinal cord and brain. The cause of ALS is unknown. There appears to be both a genetic and an environmental aspect of ALS disease causation. Multiple occupations are associated with an elevated ALS risk. Interestingly, many of these occupations involve exposure to lead, indicati...
