Blood lead (PbB) levels were determined in children living in Campania (in Naples and in a rural zone in the district of Caserta). Atmospheric lead (PbA) concentration in these considered areas was monitored for 1 yr (1993-1994). The children tested were questioned about common sources of lead, other than atmospheric, relating to their living and dietary habits. The PbB levels in children living in Naples were, at the 50th percentile, 13.8 micrograms/dl in males and 13.7 micrograms/dl in females; in children living in the rural area the median PbB levels were 8.9 micrograms/dl in males and and 8.8 micrograms/dl in females. The annual mean values of atmospheric lead were 1.15 +/- 0.24 micrograms/m3 in Naples and 0.23 +/- 0.07 micrograms/m3 in the rural area. Significant and congruent mean differences between urban and rural sites were found in children's blood and concurrent air lead. Considering the PbB level of 10 micrograms/dl as the maximum level that is not associated any known adverse effect in children, the Neapolitan group can be considered at risk of chronic intoxication by lead.
对居住在坎帕尼亚（那不勒斯及卡塞塔地区的一个农村地带）的儿童进行了血铅（PbB）水平测定。对这些地区的大气铅（PbA）浓度进行了为期1年（1993 - 1994年）的监测。对接受检测的儿童就其生活和饮食习惯中除大气之外的常见铅源进行了询问。居住在那不勒斯的儿童，血铅水平第50百分位数的男性为13.8微克/分升，女性为13.7微克/分升；居住在农村地区的儿童，血铅水平中位数男性为8.9微克/分升，女性为8.8微克/分升。那不勒斯的大气铅年均值为1.15±0.24微克/立方米，农村地区为0.23±0.07微克/立方米。在儿童血铅水平及同期空气铅含量方面，城乡之间发现了显著且一致的均值差异。将10微克/分升的血铅水平视为对儿童无任何已知不良影响的最高水平，那不勒斯儿童群体可被认为有铅慢性中毒风险。
