To describe the time trend in atmospheric lead concentrations in Spain, from before lead was banned as a gasoline additive to the present, and to determine the trend in lead body burden in the Spanish child population.
We obtained the annual average for atmospheric lead levels in several Spanish cities from the 1980s to the present. A literature search was conducted to identify published studies on lead concentrations in populations of Spanish children.
Overall, atmospheric lead levels decreased, particularly between 1991 and 1999. This downward trend was related to a decrease in lead concentrations in Spanish children from 1989, the year in which the first study of childhood lead exposure was published, until the present. The decreased concentrations in both air and in children was most probably a result of legislative measures regulating the maximum amount of lead in gasoline in 1987 until a complete ban in August 2001.
From a public health point of view, the banning of leaded gasoline has significantly increased health protection in the Spanish population.
描述从铅作为汽油添加剂被禁用之前到现在西班牙大气铅浓度的时间趋势,并确定西班牙儿童群体铅体内负荷的趋势。
我们获取了20世纪80年代至现在西班牙多个城市大气铅水平的年均值。进行文献检索以确定已发表的关于西班牙儿童群体铅浓度的研究。
总体而言,大气铅水平下降,尤其是在1991年至1999年期间。这种下降趋势与西班牙儿童铅浓度从1989年(第一篇关于儿童铅暴露研究发表的年份)到现在的下降有关。空气和儿童体内铅浓度的下降很可能是1987年开始实施的汽油中铅最大含量监管立法措施直至2001年8月完全禁用的结果。
从公共卫生角度来看,含铅汽油的禁用显著增强了对西班牙人群的健康保护。
