Abstract

In vivo bone lead measurements with ¹⁰⁹Cd-based K-shell X-ray fluorescence (XRF) have been used to assess long-term lead exposure in adults. Tibia lead levels were measured in 210 children (106 boys, 104 girls) of 11-12 1/2 years of age in a lead smelter town and in a control (nonexposed) town. Tibia lead levels, methodological uncertainties, and models of some of the factors influencing them are presented. ¹⁰⁹Cd-based K-shell XRF tibia lead methodological uncertainty in children is comparable to that in adults.
