Lead movement

  • In childhood, blood lead levels reflect the environmental lead level ie exogenous lead. Protection requires placing barriers between the child and the lead.

  • In adults, lead levels reflect the release of endogenous lead from bone, as well as the intake of exogenous lead. Protection requires prevention of exposure plus preservation of bone density.
