The present study suggests that short-term lead exposure, either ambient lead exposure or blood lead level, was not related to blood pressure change among workers who had been exposed at work to occupational lead. These results add to the body of evidence indicating that blood lead exposure does not adversely affect blood pressure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
