Abstract
Lead is an ubiquitous environmental contaminant and as a result one of the most abundant nonessential trace metals in man. The lead content of human tissues has been determined by various researchers, however, only Tipton and Cook (1963) have examined the lead content of the aorta. In reviewing this work, Schroeder and Tipton (1968) noted that concentration of lead in the aorta increased with age and presumably with atherosclerosis in persons living in the United States. This communication presents the lead content of the aortas of eighteen male residents of Baltimore, Maryland. The data tend to support the earlier observations of Schroeder and Tipton (1968). (auth)
