DESCRIPTION 
This series contains information about the measurement of lead in vivo by an external 
irradiation method. The concentration of lead in bone of the tibia was measured in 51 
military personnel by directing an external beam of x rays at the leg and measuring 
the scattered radiation. The work was part of a study to evaluate the effects of lead 
exposure among artillerymen when firing weapons, sponsored by the U.S. Army 
Research and Development Command. The study and its results are described more 
fully in a report entitled Lead Exposures and Biological Response Among U.S. Army 
Artillerymen, released by the Army Medical Research and Development Command. 
Included in this series are administrative, research, data, analysis, and reporting 
records.
