AROSQUIPA AGUILAR, Graciela  and  VILLEGAS SILVA, Elvito. Determination of lead content in blood from the female transit police who belong to the Center and South units of Metropolitan Lima. Rev. Soc. Quím. Perú [online]. 2013, vol.79, n.3, pp.229-235. ISSN 1810-634X.

The average content of lead in blood from the female police who belong to the center and south units from Metropolitan Lima in 2005 and 2008 have been below the threshold level (20 µg Pb/dL) for both workers in the street and in offices. Nevertheless, there is the possibility of occupational risk for the toxicity of lead in any concentration in a human being. For p < 0,05 there are no significant differences between the average contents of lead in blood for the workers in the streets but in different units; and there was similar situation for the workers in offices, in both years 2005 and 2008.

Keywords : Lead; lead in blood; atmospheric lead.
