“…She also reported on the poisoning of children through their employment in the lead trades, and through the uncontrolled movement of lead dusts from the workplace to the worker's home, which remains a continuing problem (37). Some children were screened, starting in Baltimore in 1935, with the development of laboratory methods at Johns Hopkins (31). But from 1935 to 1951, fewer than 2000 children were tested with the dithizone method (78).…”

“…As an aid in diagnosis, since early in 1935, the bureau of laboratories of the Baltimore City Health Department has maintained a free routine analytical service for the quantitative estimation of lead in the blood of cases of suspected plumbism (41). The dithizone method is used.…”

“…The demonstration by roentgenogram of an increased density in the growing ends of the long bones is a cardinal sign of lead poisoning (34). In recent years, the quantitative determination of lead in blood or urine as an index of abnormal lead absorption has proved an invaluable aid in diagnosis (41,42). Lead poisoning in children differs considerably from the disease in adults.…”

“…Occupational biological monitoring (OBM) started with blood lead measurements dating back to at least 1935 1 ) , initially to determine lead poisoning. The setting of Biological Exposure Indices (BEIs, published by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists, ACGIH) began in 1982 2 ) , giving visibility to the use of OBM and showing how it might be used to assess and hence control occupational exposures.…”
