Abstract
The paper discusses how atmospheric exposure to lead affects health. Sources of lead in the atmosphere are explored, lead aerosol is described, and the importance of lead in the diet is discussed. Methods of detecting lead in the human system are detailed. The paper suggests that a threshold limit of atmospheric lead be firmly established.
