Adult Blood Lead Epidemiology and Surveillance-United States, 2002
Article Abstract:
US's national health objective for 2010 is to reduce to zero the number of adults with blood lead levels (BLLs) greater than or equal to 25-(mu)g/dL. The Adult Blood Lead Epidemiology and Surveillance (ABLES) report collected data during 1994-2001 and the 2002 data indicates that the nationwide rates of elevated BLLs in adults decreased, continuing their decline since 1994, which indicate that greater prevention activities in work environment would be necessary to achieve the 2010 health objective.
