title: [The prophylactic use of pectin in chronic lead exposure in industry].
abstract: An effect was studied of lead on certain physiologic, hematological and biochemical parameters in workers engaged in the lead-acid cell manufacture, as was a prophylactic action of pectin in the aforementioned groups of persons. Elimination of lead from the organism was found to be on the increase after the intake of pectin-vitamin preparation (PVP, 3-4 g daily for one month), with the above parameters returning to normal. It is recommended that regular courses of pectin prophylaxis be delivered under control of adequate tests and levels of lead in indicator biological media if we are to achieve a maximal effect in prevention of chronic lead poisoning.
