Blyforgiftning forekommer på danske arbejdspladser

Abstract

Lead poisoning still occurs among Danish workers. The Danish Working Environment Authority guideline regulates working with lead, and in Denmark there is an occupational threshold blood lead concentration of 1.0 micromol/l. In this case daily window frame lead paint removal work and guideline neglect caused significant lead exposure. Three months work resulted in a peak blood lead concentration of 3.28 micromol/l and prolonged symptoms of mild to moderate lead poisoning. General practitioners must be aware of the continuous risk of lead poisoning and refer to an occupational and environmental department.
