Air sampling procedure for tetraalkyllead compounds

Tetramethyllead [MAK Value Documentation, 2001]

“…In a study of 38 employees of a factory producing alkyllead compounds (Backes et al 1989, Blaszkewicz et al 1988, Seeber et al 1990), the concentrations of tetraethyllead in the air (up to 46 µg/m 3 , as Pb) were found to be considerably higher than those of tetramethyllead (7.5 µg/m 3 , as Pb) (Backes et al 1989). The extensive neuropsychological tests carried out in this study demonstrated that exposure indicators were correlated in some cases with behavioural parameters.…”
