[Lead exposure of workers in various areas of a battery production establishment].

The aim of the investigation was the examination of the significance of exposure test results with respect to lead exposure of workers, which are exposed to temporal strongly varying levels of exposure. The clinical parameters delta-aminolaevolinic acid (DALS), lead concentration in blood (BPb) and erythrocyteprotoporphyrin (EPP) were examined. For the medical praxis the EPP is best suited for the estimation of the individual exposure risk over longer periods of time under mentioned conditions of exposure.
