Lead Poisoning Case Management:
Australia compared to the USA

Geometric mean blood lead level of US and Australian pre-schoolers and leaded petrol phase-out dates.

Graph: Geometric mean blood lead level of US and Australian pre-schoolers and leaded petrol phase-out dates.

Based on the one data point which is known in Australia, the average blood lead level of pre-schoolers in 1995 (Donovan 1996), it is possible that average Australian blood lead levels are approximately twice average US blood lead levels, and trail behind the US downward trend in blood lead levels, by approximately 7 years, which is the extra time it took Australia to eliminate leaded petrol, compared to the US. Average blood lead level data is available for all ages in the US, since 1976, due to blood lead testing being a component of the periodically repeated National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES). All ages show a downward trend, the success of public health policy.
