A team working co-operatively to improve the health of lead workers has evolved over the last 10 years. We have monitored 704 employees for red cell lead (4800 samples) from a factory since 1974. In 1975, 32 employees, one-third of the workforce were suspended at a red cell lead level of greater than 10.7 mumol/l. Since 1980 no-one has been suspended at the current lower level of 7.7 mumol/l. By June 1984 the red cell lead mean for all process areas is less than 4.5 mumol/l (average 3.6 mumol/l). In 1984 the usual red cell lead range for local non-industrially exposed adult males is 1.23 SD 0.65 mumol/l. The value of cumulative reporting and contributory factors in reducing the blood levels are discussed.
在过去10年里，一个致力于改善铅作业工人健康状况的合作团队逐步发展起来。自1974年以来，我们对一家工厂的704名员工的红细胞铅含量（4800份样本）进行了监测。1975年，32名员工（占劳动力总数的三分之一）因红细胞铅含量高于10.7微摩尔/升而被停职。自1980年以来，在当前较低的7.7微摩尔/升水平下，没有人被停职。到1984年6月，所有生产区域的红细胞铅平均含量低于4.5微摩尔/升（平均为3.6微摩尔/升）。1984年，当地非工业接触成年男性的红细胞铅正常范围是1.23±0.65微摩尔/升。本文讨论了累积报告以及影响降低血铅水平的因素的价值。
