TL;DR: A review of the state of scientific understanding in relation to global and regional air quality is outlined in this article, in terms of emissions, processing and transport of trace gases and aerosols.
Journal ArticleDOI
An age-specific kinetic model of lead metabolism in humans.
TL;DR: A new age-specific biokinetic model for lead originally developed for the ICRP but expanded to include additional features that are useful for consideration of lead as a chemical toxin is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship between lead exposure and homicide.
TL;DR: The results of this study support recent findings that there is an association between lead exposure and violent behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement by ICP-MS of lead in plasma and whole blood of lead workers and controls.
TL;DR: By means of ICP-MS and a simple dilution procedure, P-Pb may be measured accurately and with good precision down to concentrations present in controls, and should be considered as a complement to current indicators of lead exposure and risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gastro-Intestinal Absorption of Lead in Children and Adults: Overview of Biological and Biophysico-Chemical Aspects
TL;DR: Intake and uptake of lead in the general population is mainly via the gastro-intestinal (Gl) tract, where biological and biophysico-chemical factors operating in the Gl tract are the main determinants of Pb bioavailability.

The Causes of Cancer: Quantitative Estimates of Avoidable Risks of Cancer in the United States Today
Richard Doll,Richard Peto +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence that the various common types of cancer are largely avoidable diseases is reviewed, and it is suggested that, apart from cancer of the respiratory tract, the types of cancers that are currently common are not peculiarly modern diseases and are likely to depend chiefly on some long-established factor.

National estimates of blood lead levels: United States, 1976-1980: association with selected demographic and socioeconomic factors.
TL;DR: Mean levels of blood lead were higher in blacks than white among children and adults, among young children living in urban and rural areas, and among members of low-income, moderate- income, and higher-income families.

The effect of regression to the mean in epidemiologic and clinical studies
TL;DR: The procedures outlined here should be useful in taking regression into account at the planning stage as well as at the time of analysis in clinical and epidemiologic studies.

Chronological trend in blood lead levels between 1976 and 1980.
TL;DR: Analysis of a chronological trend in data from the second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey indicated that average blood lead levels in the United States dropped approximately 37 per cent from February 1976 through February 1980.
