title: [Reference levels of lead in children from clean regions of Poland].
abstract: Following the determination of blood lead levels in children of 8-10 age group, living in selected clean regions of Poland, a statistical analysis of results was carried out. On the basis of this analysis reference values were proposed. The values are characteristic for the whole area of Poland and they should be applied in all studies pertaining to the assessment of exposure to lead among children. A border concentration of lead in blood equal to 14 micrograms/dl was proposed as a reference one for individual examinations. For group examinations reference concentrations of 50 and 90 percentiles should not exceed 8 micrograms/dl and 12 micrograms/dl, respectively.
