Abstract:
Recently, air-borne lead sampling by acids and impinge was not reasonable for the personal sample, neither was it for risk assessment of lead poisoning. The application of NMAM for lead exposure dose evaluation deduces that: the personal samples describe well the risk of lead poisoning of the foundry workers. Personal lead samples give mean of 0.012 to 3.460 mg per shift (air borne lead from 0.001 mg/m3 to 0.330 mg/m3). So, the samples are needed and useful for better risk assessment and occupational health care here
