Abstract
To determine the blood lead level in the non-occupationally exposed Jordanian population as a baseline for comparative studies. Seven hundred and forty six blood samples were collected and analyzed using Graphic Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. A representative sample for the Jordanian community was selected. The arithmetic mean for blood lead level in the whole sample was 1.96 microg/d1 which was lower than the other means determined by international studies. The blood lead level among the Jordanian population was found to be less than the levels in other countries, this may be partly explained by the low levels of lead in air and water.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
