- Valores referenciales de plombemia en el área de Buenos Aires. Población adulta sana no expuesta laboralmente Clara Magdalena López Adriana Emilce Piñeiro Valeria Pongelli Edda Cristina Villaamil Lepori Otmaro Enrique Roses Biología Argentina blood lead reference values atomic absorption electrothermal atomization REFERENCE VALUES OF BLOOD LEAD IN THE BUENOS AIRESAREA. HEALTHY ADULTS PEOPLE OCCUPATIONALLY EXPOSEDBlood lead levels were determined for an adult healthy population notoccupationally exposed to lead, living in the City of Buenos Aires andGreater Buenos Aires. Venous blood samples from subjects of both genders(n = 278) were processed by means of electrothermal atomization -atomic absorption, at 283.3 nm. Lead blood values obtained for the totalpopulation ranged between 2.27 and 17.35 µg/dL. The female populationstudied (n =123) showed values between 1.99 and 15.8 µg/dL, whichwere not statistically different from those obtained for the male population(n =119), and which ranged between 3.06 and 17.67 µg/dL. The naturallogarithms of all values were adjusted to the Gaussian distribution. Comparing these results to those obtained in previous studies conducted by some of the authors,a clear diminution of the reference values can be observed, which might be related tosome corrective regulatory measures recently taken in Argentina such as the ban on theaddition of lead to gasoline, and the substitution of lead welding by electric welding in preservedfood cans. 2005 artículo científico 0325-2957 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=53539406 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=535 Acta Bioquímica Clínica Latinoamericana application/pdf Federación Bioquímica de la Provincia de Buenos Aires Acta Bioquímica Clínica Latinoamericana (Argentina) Num.4 Vol.39
