Abstract:
We studied blood lead levels of children who lived in 3 locations in Greece. We then compared blood lead levels in our study with results of previous studies conducted in Athens and other areas of Greece. The significant reduction of blood lead levels in Greece during the past 2 decades was obvious. We also discussed the factors responsible for the overall reduction in blood lead levels.
