2022, ChemosphereCitation Excerpt :For contemporary data, the HLL background ranges from around 0.45 μg g−1 (Varrica et al., 2018) to 2 μg g−1 (Furman and Laleli, 2000), after the strong decrease around 1990–1995 following the introduction of reduced-lead and unleaded gasoline. During this period, mean HLL values fell from 8.8 to 4.1 μg g−1 (Schuhmacher et al., 1996), the latter very close to the HLL background reported by Revich (1994). These observations show that the impact of leaded products (e.g., paints, kitchenware, beverages and cosmetics) might have been as important contamination source around 1870 as that of leaded gasoline at the end of the 20th century.

2017, International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental HealthCitation Excerpt :However, the blood lead and urinary vanadium levels are lower in our region than in the French national study (Fréry et al., 2010). The lower blood levels could be explained by the decrease in the mean blood lead level of the general population over the course of time, a phenomenon already reported in other biomonitoring studies and linked to the environmental policies (use of unleaded petrol, replacement of lead pipes…) (Becker et al., 2013; Cerná et al., 2012; Muntner et al., 2005; Schuhmacher et al., 1996; Seo et al., 2015). In point of fact the recruitment of the participants was done in 2006–2007 for the French national study and in 2008–2010 for our regional study.
