The incidence of Industrial Lead Poisoning is closely related to those sections of the manufactures which involve the production of dust. In white-lead works, paint-grinding shops, litharge grinding, electrical accumulator works, etc., the dust takes the form of minute particles of the special compound of lead manipulated by the workman. In smelting, desilverising, trimming metals and in file cutting, finely divided metallic lead, or a lead oxide, is present in the workshop air.

Dr. Bartens (“Zeitschrift,” xxxvii. Band, 1 Heft) observes that poisoning with lead is not so common as poisoning with alcohol, simply because lead is not so often introduced into the system, as it rarely affects any one who does not have occasion to work with that metal. From a wide survey of French and German literature, he has collected a few descriptions of lead poisoning where the nervous system was affected, and he has carefully studied nine cases which he met with in the asylums of Liegburg and Duren. Three of these were painters; one was employed at a factory for making white lead; the others worked at the lead mines. In most instances the insanity either preceded or closely followed an attack of lead colic, though occasionally there were none of the ordinary symptoms of lead poisoning. The insanity may take an acute or a chronic course. Generally the patients have suffered from derangements of digestion, such as want of appetite, foul breath, and constipation, more rarely diarrhoea.

Experimental Conditions

1 The effects of lead poisoning during pregnancy were tested on female Sprague-Dawley rats that inhaled 5 mg m-3 lead oxide for 13 days during gestation. At the end of gestation, the respective blood lead levels of dams and fetuses were 71.1 and 83.2 μg 100 ml-1, indicating lead poisoning. 2 In the 90 day-old male offspring of the exposed dams, testis weight and histology, and epididymal weight and sperm reserve, were all similar to those of control males. Spermatozoa mobility and morphology were normal. 3 Also similar to control values were the pituitary weight in these male offspring, their plasma FSH, LH and testosterone levels, and the weight of their ventral prostate and seminal vesicles, the targets of the sexual hormones. 4 When male and female offspring of exposed dams were mated, their fertility was normal, with no increase in prenatal death or malformations, and no changes in the size or sex ratio of litters. 5 These results indicate that, under our experimental conditions, lead oxide inhalation by rats during pregnancy did not perturb reproductive function in their male offspring.

This case series reports lead poisoning with “Swamp stone” powder in a family. Swamp stone contains heavy metals with poisoning potentials. The chelating agent had more efficiency in parents than their children in lowering the blood level lead. It is important to find sources for lead poisoning and educate population.

Lead Films

The preparation of metallic lead films by electrochemical deposition was reported. Although primary deposits at fresh state (also referred to as fresh deposits) were indeed metallic lead films, the fresh lead films could be rapidly oxidized to lead oxide in air. To obtain long stable metallic lead films, the key process is how to prevent the oxidization of fresh lead films. Our studies indicate that the washing of fresh metallic lead films in absolute alcohol is a simple but effective method to protect the lead films from the oxidization for an extended period of more than 20 days.

Five cases of fatal lead poisoning occurred between 1884-6 among the employés of a certain white lead factory in the East of London. The cases presented the following common characters. They were all adult women, aged from 18 to 33. They had all worked at the factory for short periods from three to twelve months. They all exhibited mild symptoms of plumbism, such as a blue line round the gums and more or less ill-defined indisposition; paralyses were absent. They were all in their usual state of health within a few days or hours preceding death. Death was unexpected—mostly sudden. In four cases it was preceded by epileptic fits and coma, but in the fifth case no convulsions were noted, although they may have occurred during the night.
