Abstract
Lead levels were determined from neonatal samples of blood collected at a general-care hospital. The cord blood lead values of babies from urban maternal residences were significantly higher than those from rural environments. The over-all cord blood lead value was (mean +/- S.D.) 9.4 +/- 3.7 micrograms of lead per 100 ml. of whole blood. This level represented a considerably lower value than others previously reported and suggests a lower "normal" value for our population.
