Abstract

Objectives : To estimate the correlation of blood lead level of families and environmental factors and infer its influence on blood lead levels in the Korean urban area in Seoul Korea. Methods : The study subjects comprised 499 men and 489 women from 366 families and we analyzed the blood lead level using induced coupled plasma/mass spectroscopy and had interviews. Results : The mean blood lead level of men was 3.00 $\mu\textrm{g}$/dL. The stastical analysis of this study used the tool of frequency rate and t-test between blood lead levels of families and environmental factors. Especially father's smoking and dusty workplace environment showed significancy to blood lead levels. Conclusion : There was positive relationship of blood lead level to several environmental factors. These facts show outdoor environment is more influential than home environment.
