Blood lead levels in the adult Victorian population: results from the Victorian Health Monitor.

Conclusions : The first population estimates of BLLs in Victorian adults indicate the average adult BLL to be well below the current national reference level. However, some groups of the population have BLLs at which adverse effects may occur. Implications : The results provide baseline estimates for future population health surveillance and comparison with studies of at-risk groups. PMID: 23731105 [PubMed - in process]
