Title
Air Lead: Relation to Lead in Blood of Black School Children Deficient in Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase
Subject
Blood lead level
Genetic influence on lead poisoning
Childhood lead poisoning
Description
A study by Dr. Matilda S. McIntire and Dr. Carol R. Angle studying how proximity to a battery plant and levels of Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) protein affected lead levels in black elementary school children in Omaha. They found that the closer schools had significantly higher blood lead levels as well as that those with lower G6PD protein levels had a higher blood lead concentration.
