Association between blood lead concentrations and body iron status in children.
Blood lead concentrations and body iron status were investigated in 279 children. Blood lead concentrations showed no increase during iron depletion phase (stage I) but markedly increased from the phase of iron deficient erythropoiesis (stage II). Increased blood lead concentrations in anaemic subjects significantly decreased after iron supplementation.
