- W2624985730 abstract "Lead poisoning is a serious public health concern in Nigeria. Exposure to lead exerts toxic effects in several body organs and interferes with a variety of biochemical processes including nervous system development, thus, more toxic in children. Notwithstanding, occupational exposure particularly tricycle repairers in Nigeria is vague. The survey reports on the nature and extent to which tricycle repairers at Oshodi, Nigeria exposure to lead at workplace. Twenty tricycle repairers were randomly recruited and their anthropometric parameters were collected and recorded in a Quantum Health Machine (QHM). The automated QHM examined each repairer’s total (blood, tissues, organs, bones and body) lead contents immediately each repairer held the QHM’s sensitive handle and results displayed on detector screen. Repairers were mainly exposed to lead through lead tetraethyl (an antiknock agent in petrol). Repairers were exposed by ingestion and inhalation routes during siphoning of petrol in and out from petrol tanks. Generally, 85% of studied repairers had moderate 40% to severe 48% abnormal contents of lead in their bodies while 15% repairers were of mild abnormal lead contents. The overall mean and median levels of lead in studied repairers were 162.8 and 165.1 (range: 100.2–196.4)µg/dL respectively. These levels are higher than levels of lead reported in other adult populations elsewhere in Nigeria but exceeded the Food and Drug Administration provisional total tolerable intake level of 75 µg/dL/day for adults. The situation may be worse considering long term exposures, thus, education intervention strategies to reduce exposure levels are urgent" @default.
