title: [Lead and health].
abstract: Large sums are being invested in the USA at present with a view to reducing the exposure of risk groups to lead. The Centers for Disease Control (Atlanta) have recently issued new limits for lead concentrations in children, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is preparing to issue new threshold limit values (TLVs) for airborne lead in the USA, and a national laboratory control system is being built up.
