Answer:
- Lead concentation in blood is considered alarming of it is 30 mg / 100 mL
Explanation:
- Lead (Pb) is released by combustion of petrol as tetraethyl lead is used as antiknock in petrol.
- This lead is very harmful and causes plumbism or lead poisoning, which disturbs nervous system, liver, kidneys in adults and also causes brain damage in children.
- About 150 to 400 mg of lead is stored in the body of an average adult and blood levels average about 25 mg/100 mL.
- Increase to 70 mg/100 ml of blood is generally associated with clinical symptoms.
- Hence a level of 30 mg/100 mL should be considered alarming.
