A survey has been undertaken of the distribution of blood lead concentrations in pre-school children attending nursery schools or day centres in Birmingham. The majority of levels in excess of 1.65 μmol/l were found in children of Asian origin. It is thought likely that the high blood lead concentration seen in these children is related to nutritional rather than environmental factors.

Piomelli et al.1 have presented an extensive experience in comparison of free erythrocyte porphyrin (FEP) levels with blood lead concentrations. Their finding that an FEP ≥ 250µg/100 ml RBC was invariably associated with a blood lead concentration ≥ 6Oµg/100 ml is consistent with data obtained in our laboratory2 using a somewhat different microfluorometric method for FEP determination.3 We must, however, take issue with the conclusion of Piomelli et al.1 that only FEP levels above 250µg/100 ml RBC should be considered "positive."
