Abstract Details

2015, MS, University of Cincinnati, Medicine: Industrial Hygiene (Environmental Health).
This study correlates a LeadCare © II blood analyzer with Graphite Furnace Absorption Spectroscopy (GFAAS) and performs a comparison of the lead level results. Subjects who currently occupied a lead containing building that was under construction were recruited. The study consisted of 12 total participants. One sample was collected from each subject via venipuncture. The samples were then analyzed with both a LeadCare © II analyzer and also via Graphite Furnace Absorption Spectroscopy (GFAAS). The sample mean for the GFAAS analysis was 1.56 µg/dL with a SD ± 1.93. Many of the samples were reported at or below the limit of detection of 1.0 µg/dL. The reportable range of the Lead © II device is 3.3 to 65 µg/dL with most of the results being reported <3.3 µg/dL. Due to the analysis methods having different reportable ranges and most being below these measurable spectrum, it was considered illogical to make a comparison of measurements between these two devices.
