Abstract

 The widespread use of lead causes accumulation results in poisoning known as plumbism. The acceptable reference range for lead in human beings is 25µg/dl. Present study shows the blood lead levels of South Delhi population. 5 ml of blood was taken and digested followed by analysis using trace metal analyser (TMA). The results obtained were further categorized onthe basis of sex and age. Out of 250 autopsies 77 were females having mean blood lead level 0.41 µg/dl while rest 173 weremales having mean blood lead level 16 µg/dl. According to age-wise distribution the highest mean blood lead level is found in the age group of 41-60 years i.e. 20.73 µg/dl.
