Abstract

The article assesses the relation between occupational lead exposure and elevated blood pressure among workers employed in an exhaust lead battery storage factory. Blood lead concentration is associated with small increases in blood pressure. Elevated levels of Zinc Protoporphirin and decrease Aminolevuliniv Acid Dehydratase activity represent biological markers of heme synthesis inhibition.
