Abstract
In a comprehensive review of the scientific literature, all of the biological, for the most part biochemical, phenomena which are known to result from the absorption of lead in measurable quantities into the bodies of animals and men have been assembled. An attempt has been made to indicate the extent to which the quantitative measurement of certain of these reactions to the absorption of lead might be employed, or developed to the point of employment, in order to recognize the likelihood of the occurrence of clinical lead poisoning in time to prevent its occurrence. Of greater import is the demonstration of the multiplicity of effects which sufficient concentrations of lead may induce in the biochemistry and physiology of animals.
