Deciduous teeth were analyzed by atomic absorption spectroscopy for lead content to ascertain the extent of lead exposure in certain areas in Tennessee. The data were analyzed to clarify the relationships between tooth lead content and race, sex, age, tooth type, economic status, and place of residence. Results indicated that blacks had slightly higher lead concentrations than whites; however, the age and sex of the person or the type of tooth analyzed had little effect upon the lead content. The major factors were shown to be economic status and, indirectly, place of residence.
通过原子吸收光谱法分析乳牙中的铅含量，以确定田纳西州某些地区的铅暴露程度。对数据进行分析，以阐明牙齿铅含量与种族、性别、年龄、牙齿类型、经济状况和居住地点之间的关系。结果表明，黑人的铅浓度略高于白人；然而，被分析者的年龄和性别或牙齿类型对铅含量影响不大。主要因素显示为经济状况，以及间接的居住地点。
