title: Lead chromate exposures and elevated blood lead levels in workers in the plastics pigmenting industry--Texas, 1990.
abstract: In June 1990, the Dallas (Texas) County Health Department received a physician's report of an elevated blood lead level (BLL) (52 micrograms/dL) for an employee of a company that formulates color concentrates for the plastics industry. The physician had been evaluating the employee for severe headaches of uncertain etiology; however, he requested a BLL analysis when the employee's occupational history suggested possible lead exposure.
