Abstract
Environmental conditions in a storage battery factory are described. The results of lead determination in air are compared with similar analyses carried out by Winn and Shroyer. A polarographic method was used for the analysis of air samples. The lead content was found to be very high. Preventive methods are proposed for the control of atmospheric lead. Lead concentration was also determined in blood of 46 workers, and found to be very high. It was found that a method of urine analysis due to Reed and Gant, gave much lower values of lead concentrations, than other analytical methods
