Lead Exposure of People with Developmental Disabilities: Success of Control Measures.
Lohiya, Ghan Shyam; And Others
Mental Retardation, v34 n4 p215-19 Aug 1996
In a developmental center for individuals with mental retardation, blood lead level was determined for individuals who were admitted or discharged over two decades. Analysis indicated a marked decline in blood lead levels, attributed to local lead abatement measures, effective pica management, and reduced environmental lead contamination. Guidelines are suggested for prevention of lead poisoning in developmental centers. (Author/PB)
