Abstract
The doctor faced with the supervision of lead workers should have a sound knowledge of the clinical manifestations of excessive lead absorption. It is particularly important that he should be able to identify those workers who have passed into the zone of excessive absorption while still remaining capable of work. It is suggested that years of such exposure may lead to renal damage. An investigation is reported which shows there is no excess of deaths from malignant disease among lead workers but in those who have been heavily exposed for many years a significant excess of deaths from cerebro-vascular catastrophe occurs.
