title: Cobalt release from glazed earthenware: Observations in a case of lead poisoning.
abstract: In a case of lead poisoning caused by a Greek jug, high levels of whole blood cobalt were also recorded. Cobalt was probably released from the underglaze dye by juice stored in the jug. The element was rapidly eliminated from the circulation and no signs of cardiotoxicity were observed in the patient. This case illustrates a possibly novel route of alimentary cobalt exposure.
