Abstract
In October 2017, at the request of a Missouri bullet manufacturing, CDCâs National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health conducted a health hazard evaluation to determine routes and extent of lead exposure. Their findings indicated elevated blood lead levels among almost all employees and air lead conentrations below federal guidelines and recommended a workplace lead control program be used.
Highlights
Full-shift personal air samples and blood specimens for lead were collected from 10 of 11 employees
Personal airborne lead exposures were below the OSHA permissible exposure limit, lack of a workplace lead control program likely resulted in employee lead exposures through inhalation, ingestion, and dermal absorption
No potential conflicts of interest were disclosed
Summary
Full-shift personal air samples and blood specimens for lead were collected from 10 of 11 employees.
