Abstract
LEAD poisoning was a subject of major importance during the first four decades of this century because of the absorption of lead from paint, especially among children and painters. Intoxication with lead products was also common among battery workers and those unfortunate enough to ingest it from the insecticide residues on fruits and vegetables. It is no longer as prevalent because of the safeguards that have been introduced in lead-free paints and the greater sophistication of industrial users of lead. Nevertheless, it is still an important problem in the wire and battery industries.The classic physical findings and laboratory data . . .Keywords
