To establish the blood lead concentration and associated risk factors in schoolchildren during 1998 and 2008.
A blood lead screening was conducted in schoolchildren of 6-12 years of age, enrolled in 17 elementary schools of the metropolitan area of Monterrey, México, during 1998 and 2008.
The mean blood lead level were 9.6 ± 3.0 (µg/dL range of 3.18 to 20.88) in 1998 and 4.5±4.8 µg/dL (range of 3.3 to 53.7) showing a 2.1-times reduction in blood lead levels (p<0.01).
This reduction in blood lead levels demonstrate environmental and industrial control improvements and the benefits of fading out the leaded gasoline during the 1990's.
确定1998年至2008年期间学童的血铅浓度及相关危险因素。
1998年至2008年期间,对墨西哥蒙特雷大都市区17所小学6至12岁的学童进行了血铅筛查。
1998年平均血铅水平为9.6±3.0(μg/dL,范围为3.18至20.88),2008年为4.5±4.8 μg/dL(范围为3.3至53.7),血铅水平降低了2.1倍(p<0.01)。
血铅水平的这种降低表明环境和工业控制得到改善,以及20世纪90年代无铅汽油逐渐淘汰带来的益处。
