Blood lead concentrations in a remote Himalayan population

S Piomelli, L Corash, MB Corash, C Seaman, P Mushak, B Glover, and R Padgett

The lead content in the air at the foothills of the Himalayas in Nepal was found to be negligible. The concentration of lead in the blood of 103 children and adults living in this region was found to average 3.4 micrograms per deciliter, a level substantially lower than that found in industrialized populations.
