Retrospective exposure assessment of occupational lead exposure in population-based studies requires historical exposure information from many occupations and industries.
We reviewed published US exposure monitoring studies to identify lead measurement data. We developed an occupational lead exposure database from the 175 identified papers containing 1,111 sets of lead concentration summary statistics (21% area air, 47% personal air, 32% blood). We also extracted ancillary exposure-related information, including job, industry, task/location, year collected, sampling strategy, control measures in place, and sampling and analytical methods.
The measurements were published between 1940 and 2010 and represented 27 2-digit standardized industry classification codes. The majority of the measurements were related to lead-based paint work, joining or cutting metal using heat, primary and secondary metal manufacturing, and lead acid battery manufacturing.
This database can be used in future statistical analyses to characterize differences in lead exposure across time, jobs, and industries.
在基于人群的研究中,对职业性铅暴露进行回顾性暴露评估需要来自许多职业和行业的历史暴露信息。
我们查阅了已发表的美国暴露监测研究,以确定铅测量数据。我们从175篇已识别的论文中建立了一个职业性铅暴露数据库,其中包含1111组铅浓度汇总统计数据(21%为区域空气,47%为个人空气,32%为血液)。我们还提取了与暴露相关的辅助信息,包括工作、行业、任务/地点、采集年份、采样策略、现有的控制措施以及采样和分析方法。
这些测量数据发表于1940年至2010年之间,代表了27个两位数的标准产业分类代码。大多数测量数据与铅基涂料工作、使用热连接或切割金属、初级和二级金属制造以及铅酸电池制造有关。
该数据库可用于未来的统计分析,以描述不同时间、工作和行业之间铅暴露的差异。
