Abstract

The Halstead Urban and Rural District Councils were established in 1894 and ceasedto exist with the reorganization of local government in 1974. The total population of the two districts in 1974 was approximately 27,000 of whom 7000 lived in the urban district. The combined districts cover an area of 120 sq. miles in North-East Essex. A review of the 80 years is made from old reports and minute books which traces the gradual introduction of basic public health facilities and emphasizes some of the problems of rural areas.

Abstract

A cross-sectional study was carried out in Malaysia to determine blood lead levels in a group of 60 pregnant women living in an urban area and another group of 63 pregnant women from a rural district. The mean blood lead level of the urban women (17·3 μg/100 ml) was significantly higher than that of the rural women (15·5 μg/100 ml). The higher urban levels probably reflect greater environmental exposure to lead. The study did not demonstrate any statistical relationship of blood lead levels with age or duration of pregnancy.
