Argonne National Laboratory SERIES TITLE In Vivo Measurement of Lead INCLUSIVE DATES ca. 1985 ca. 1992 ARRANGEMENT Subject VOLUME 6 cubic feet 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. RESTRICTIONS This series contains privacy material.
