abstract: CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Adult Blood Lead Epidemiology and Surveillance program (ABLES) monitors laboratory-reported elevated blood lead levels (BLLs) among adults in the United States. Twenty-three states reported surveillance results to the ABLES program in 1995. Ohio and Minnesota joined ABLES in 1996; their data are included for the first quarter of 1996. This report presents ABLES data for the first quarter of 1996 compared with the first quarter of 1995 and annual data for 1995 compared with 1994.
