In May 1990, the New Jersey State Department of Health (NJSDH) received laboratory reports of elevated blood lead levels [( BLLs] greater than or equal to 25 micrograms/dL) for 13 workers employed at a small foundry in New Jersey. Six of the workers had BLLs that exceeded 60 micrograms/dL; the highest was 277 micrograms/dL. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) lead standard,* these six persons should have been removed immediately from further exposure to lead until their BLLs returned to acceptable ranges. NJSDH contacted the persons with elevated BLLs to obtain additional information about their lead exposures and health status. None of these persons had been evaluated medically or removed from the source of lead exposure.
1990年5月，新泽西州卫生部（NJSDH）收到实验室报告，报告显示新泽西州一家小型铸造厂的13名工人血铅水平升高（血铅水平[BLLs]大于或等于25微克/分升）。其中6名工人的血铅水平超过60微克/分升；最高值为277微克/分升。根据职业安全与健康管理局（OSHA）的铅标准*，这6人应立即停止进一步接触铅，直至其血铅水平恢复到可接受范围。新泽西州卫生部联系了血铅水平升高的人员，以获取有关他们铅暴露情况和健康状况的更多信息。这些人中没有一人接受过医学评估，也没有被调离铅暴露源。
