Abstract

For the purpose of obtaining on effective biological data, study to evaluate the health consequence of lead absorptioin was conducted using printing industry workers in Taegu City from July 1 to 31, 1989. The study population was the 64 lead-exposed workers and 31 non-exposed workers who were working in the printing industry. The lead indices subjected to this study were as follows;p blood lead(PbB0, Hemoglobin(Hb), lead in hair(PbH). Blood lead(PbB) and hair lead(PbH) concentrations were estimated using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer(IL 551) equipped with furnace Atomizer(IL 755). The results obtain were as follows: The mean value of blood lead level were 25.58±7.21㎍/100ml and 22.95±4.80㎍/100ml in lead-exposed workers and controls, respectively and was statisically significant difference(p<0.05). The mean value of lead level in hair were 15.01±6.31㎍/g and 11.41±5.74㎍/g in lead-exposed workers and controls, respectively(p<0.01). The mean value of hemoglobin were 15.10±0.93 g/100ml and 14.67±1.03g/100ml in lead-exposed workers and controls, respectively(p<0.01). In lead-exposed workder, the correlation between PbB and PbH (r=0.0953), Hb(r=-0.2108) was no statistically significant difference, respectively and there was staatistically significant correlation between PbH and Hb (r=-0.3064), work duration(r=0.3658), respectively(p<0.01).
