The study subjects included the workers who were estimated to have been exposed in a low density of lead-laden glaze from pottery manufacturers. They were evaluated in terms of PbB and PbU as indices of lead concentration in the body, and Hb, Hct, ALAD, and FEP as indices of biochemical lead poisoning. Consequently, the study results revealed the relationship between each of indices and its effectiveness to indicate the degree of occupational lead exposure. 1. The mean of PbB was $22.85{\;}{\mu}g/d{\ell}$(range; $4.2~44.7{\;}{\mu}g/d{\ell}$) and PbU $45.69{\mu}g/d{\ell}$(range; $6.7~87.5{\mu}g/d{\ell}$), to indicate the level of lead exposure in the subjects. 2. While there was a high, linear correlation between PbB, PbU and FEP (r=0.835, r=0.855, respectively), a low correlation existed between PbB and ALAD(r=-0.240). 3. While there was a high, linear correlation between PbU and FEP(r=0.825), a low correlation existed between PbU and ALAD(r=-0.352). The above results suggest that FEP can be used as a highly useful biochemical index of lead poisoning, based on its high correlation with PbB and PbU indicating lead concentration in the body.

Workers' exposure to lead particles with diverse characteristics was assessed using personal cascade impactors in four different industries. Correlation analyses found that total airborne lead (PbA) concentrations could not explain the variation on MMAD of lead particles. From regression analysis, the concentrations of lead particles smaller than 1 um in AD were found to rise very slowly with increases in total PbA. They rarely contributed more than 50 ㎍/㎥ of total PbA over the range of 5.6-7,740 ㎍/㎥ although there are a few high values greater than 100 ㎍/㎥ while respirable lead concentrations significantly increased with increasing total PbA concentrations. In the secondary smelting and radiator manufacturing industries requiring high temperatures, the average fraction of respirable concentration in total PbA was 43.3% and 48.9%, respectively, which indicated an important contribution to the total PbA. In lead powder and battery manufacturing, it was less than 27%. Our study results concluded that workers' exposure to lead particles with diverse characteristics might not be effectively monitored by the current total PbA sampling alone. To protect workers exposed to different sizes of lead particles generated in many operations, an occupational standard for respirable lead particles should be added to the current total lead standard.

본 연구는 제철 산업지역과 이 지역으로 부터 이격거리가 다른 주거지역들의 대기 및 잠재적 오염원의 납 동위원소/대기 중 납 농도를 측정하여 제철 산업도시 대기 중 납의 주요 오염원을 평가하였다. 대기 중 납 농도와 납 동위원소비 측정과정에서 수행한 자료의 질 관리 프로그램에서 결정된 납의 검출한계는 $0.5ng/m^3$ 이하, 표준 입자상물질의 회수율은 90% 이상 그리고 4종류 납 동위원소($^{204}Pb$, $^{206}Pb$, $^{207}Pb$, $^{208}Pb$) 분석의 재현성 오차가 모두 0.2% 이하이었다. 3종류 동위원소비($^{206}Pb/^{204}Pb$, $^{207}Pb/^{206}Pb$, $^{208}Pb/^{206}Pb$ 모두에 대해서 산업지역에서 측정된 값은 이 지역과 멀리 떨어진 주거지역 측정값보다 인접한 주거지역 측정값과 가까워, 산업지역과 인접 주거지역 납의 오염원이 보다 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 나아가, 여름과 겨울 두 계절에 대하여, 주거지역들보다는 산업지역에서 납 농도가 4배 이상 높게 나타났고, 주거지역 중에서도 인접 주거지역에서 납 농도가 높게 나타났기 때문에, 산업지역에서 배출된 납이 인접 주거지역에 더 많은 영향을 미친 것으로 사료되었다. 산업지역에서 조사된 3종류 납 동위원소비($^{206}Pb/^{204}Pb$, $^{207}Pb/^{206}Pb$, $^{208}Pb/^{206}Pb$)가 8종류 잠재적 오염원 중에서 슬래그와 자동차 배출가스의 값과 유사하게 나타나, 이들 오염원이 산업지역과 인접 주거지역 납의 주요 오염원으로 추정된다. 또한, 산업지역과 주거지역들의 납 동위원소비가 계절적으로 다른 양상을 나타내었고, 납 농도는 여름보다 겨울에 높게 나타났다.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of Korean Pueraria radix extract in Pb administered rats. Pb exposed rats were given 1% Pb in the diet. $\delta$-Adminolevulinic acid(DALA) and urinary glucose levels were increased with Pb administration and were lower in the Pb group than in the group administered Pb alone. Hematocrit value was decreased with Pb administration and was higher in the Pb group than in the C-Pb grou. $\delta$-Aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (DALAD) activity was decreased in the Pb group. ALT and AST were increased by Pb added and were lower in the Pb group than in the C-Pb group. Serum Pb content was higher in the Pb exposed rats than in the control groups, and no significant difference was found due to extract of Pueraria radix supplementation. Levels of liver, kidney and femur lead were reduced by Pueraria radix. Lead contents in feces and urine were higher in the Pb added groups than in the control group, and level of feces lead was increased by extract of Pueraria radix.

The color change of lead-containing pigments is one of the most serious diseases in watercolor, oil paintings and wall paintings. These pigments have a tendency to darken or brighten. It was proved that oxidation of lead containing pigments in the formation of brown-colored lead dioxide is a photochemical reaction under high humidity conditions. Therefore, we carried out some analogic experiments on the color change of three typical lead containing pigments ; $Pb_3O_4$, Pbo and $PbCo_3{\cdot}Pb(OH)_2$ at the conditions of illuminations under the high humidity ($2PbCo_3{\cdot}Pb(OH)_2$ R. H.). The reason for the chemical reactions are discussed and the results of these experiments are shown in some spectrograms, micrographs and X-ray micro-diffraction patterns. Important conclusions were drawn in our research. Due to the formation of brown $PbO_2$, red lead $(Pb_3O_4)$ and massicot (PbO) turned brown or dark when they were illuminated light under high humidity. We noticed that the brightening of red lead occurred d to admixture with chalk or lead white in egg yolk or linseed oil medium on exposure to light. Lead white used in oil paintings turned yellowish on dark.

납중독에 따른 식이내 Se 함량이 간조직의 산화적 손상을 방어할 수 있는 가를 관찰하기 위해 140g 내외의 흰쥐 Sprague-Dawley종 수컷을 정상군과 식이 내에 납 함량을 2,000 ppm 투여한 납투여 실험군으로 나누고 다시 식이내 Se 수준에 따라 0 ppm(Pb0군), 0.5 ppm(PbS군), 1.0 ppm(PbSS군) 식이군으로 나누어 4주간 사육한 후 간장 중 SOD. GSH-Px, GST 등 항산화효소의 활성을 측정하고, GSH 및 비타민 E 함량을 측정하였다. 또한 전자현미경을 통하여 간세포의 소기관을 관찰하였다. 1. 간장 중 SOD는 Pb0군이 다른 군에 비해 다소 높았다. GSH-Px 활성은 Pb0군은 정상군에 비해 현저하게 감소되었으나 PbS군과 PbSS군간은 Pb0군에 비해 증가되었다. GST활성은 Pb0군만 정상군에 비해 감소되었고 PbS, PbSS,군은 정상군 수준이었다. 2. GSH 함량은 정상군에 비해 Pb0군에서 낮았으나 정상군과 PbS. PbSS군은 유의적인 차이가 없었다. GSSG는 GSH와 반대로 Pb0군에서 증가되었으며 GSH/GSSG는 GSH함량과 같은 경향이었다. 또한 간조직 중의 비타민 E함량은 Pb0군은 정상군에 비해 약 50% 정도의 수준이었고 PbSS군과 PbS군은 Pb0군에 비해 증가되었다. 3. 전자현미경적 관찰에서는 RER의 감소, 라이소솜의 증가, 미토콘드리아의 종창 등을 나타내었는데 그 정도는 PbSS, PbS, Pb0군 순으로 심하게 나타났다. 이상의 결과로 식이 중 Se의 다량 첨가는 납중독으로 인한 간조직의 항산화계를 강화시키고 세포 소기관들의 산화적 손상을 현저하게 완화시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있다.

Measurement of blood lead (PbB) and blood zinc protoporphyrin (ZPP) are most common biological indices to identify the individual at risk for excess or the health sequences by lead exposure. Because PbB is known most important and reliable index of lead exposure, PbB is often regarded as a gold standard to detect lead exposure. But in Korea PbB is a secondary test item of detailed health check-up with positive finding of screening test in most occasion. Our lead standard requires all lead workers to take annual heath-check twice a year for investigation of their health effect due to lead exposure. Blood ZPP is one of most important index to detect high lead absorption in lead workers as a screening test. Measurement of blood ZPP is known ,well to correlate with PbB in steady state of exposure in most lead workers and is often used as a primary screening test to detect high lead absorption of lead workers with the advantage of simplicity, easiness, portability and low cost. The current cut-off criteria of blood ZPP for further detailed health check-up is $100{\mu}g/d\ell$ which is supposed to match the level of $40{\mu}g/d\ell$ of PbB according to our standard. Authors tried to investigate the validity of current criteria of cut-off level $(100{\mu}g/d\ell)$ of blood ZPP and possible another better cut-off level of it to detect the lead workers whose PbB level over $40{\mu}g/d\ell$. The subjects in our study were 212 male workers in three small scale storage battery industries. Blood ZPP, PbB and hemoglobin (Hb) were selected as the indices of lead exposure. The results were as follows. 1. The mean of blood ZPP, PbB and Hb in lead workers were $79.5{\pm}46.7{\mu}g/d\ell,\;38.7{\pm}15.1{\mu}g/d\ell,\;and\;14.8{\pm}1.2g/d\ell$, respectively. There were significant differences in blood ZPP, PbB and Hb by industry (P<0.01). 2. The percents of lead workers whose blood ZPP were above $100{\mu}g/d\ell$ in the group of work duration below 1, 1-4, 5-9 and above 10 years were 8.6%, 17.2%, 47.6%, and 50.0%, respectively. The percents of lead workers whose PbB were above $40{\mu}g/d\ell$ in those were 31.4%, 40.4%, 71.4%, and 86.4%, respectively. 3. The percents of lead workers whose PbB were below $40{\mu}g/d\ell$, $40-59{\mu}g/d\ell$ and above $60{\mu}g/d\ell$ were 54.7%, 34.9% and 10.4%, respectively. Those of lead workers whose blood ZPP were below $100{\mu}g/d\ell$, $100-149{\mu}g/d\ell$ and above $150{\mu}g/d\ell$ were 79.2%, 13.7% and 7.1%, respectively. 4. Simple linear regression of PbB on blood ZPP was statistically significant (P<0.01) and as PbB was $40{\mu}g/d\ell$, blood ZPP was $82.1{\mu}g/d\ell$. 5. While the highest sensitivity and specificity of blood ZPP test to detect lead workers with PbB eve. $40{\mu}g/d\ell$ were observed in the cut-off level of $50{\mu}g/d\ell$ and $100{\mu}g/d\ell$ of blood ZPP, respectively, the highest validity (sensitivity+specificity) of blood ZPP to detect lead workers with PbB over $40{\mu}g/d\ell$ was observed in the cut-off level of around $70{\mu}g/d\ell$ of blood ZPP. But even with optimal cut-off level of around $70{\mu}g/d\ell$ of blood ZPP, still 25.0% of false negative and 20.7% false positive lead workers were found. As the result of this study, it was suggested that reconsideration of current blood ZPP cut-off of our lead standard from $100{\mu}g/d\ell$ to somewhat lower level such as around $70{\mu}g/d\ell$ and the inclusion of PbB measurement as a primary screening test for lead workers was highly recommended for the effective prevention of lead workers.
