Design: cross-sectional<br />

Subjects: children (n = 189, 110 females; age rage<br />

1.9-10.6 yr) living in the vicinity <strong>of</strong> lead battery and<br />

leaded glass manufacture facilities.<br />

Biomarker measured: hair lead<br />

Units: ng/g<br />

Geometric mean (range):<br />

5.4 (1-39.2)<br />

90 th Pct: ~15<br />

Geometric mean PbB was 8.5 µg/dL<br />

(range 3.1-35.7); log PbB = 1.44 + 0.35<br />

(log hair) + 0.24 (gender), r 2 = 0.20.<br />

AAS - atomic absorption spectroscopy; PbB = blood lead; ET-AAS - electro-thermal atomic absorption spectrometry; GFAAS - graphite furnace atomic absorption<br />

spectroscopy; HHANES - Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey; ICP-AES - inductively coupled plasma/atomic emission spectroscopy; ICP-MS - inductively<br />

coupled plasma-mass spectrometry; NR - not reported; Pct - percentile.
