Toxicokinetics and Toxicodynamics of Lead Dust and Fumes from Inorganic Compounds
Lead is the fifth most commonly used metal in the world ADDIN Mendeley Citation{426cca72-904e-4842-bed7-3310d7dfdf0c} CSL_CITATION { "citationItems" : [ { "id" : "ITEM-1", "itemData" : { "author" : [ { "family" : "National Institutes of Health", "given" : "" }, { "family" : "US Department of Health and Human Services", "given" : "" } ], "id" : "ITEM-1", "issued" : { "date-parts" : [ [ "2010" ] ] }, "title" : "Lead Compounds", "type" : "report" }, "uris" : [ "/documents/?uuid=426cca72-904e-4842-bed7-3310d7dfdf0c" ] } ], "mendeley" : { "previouslyFormattedCitation" : "(National Institutes of Health \u0026#38; US Department of Health and Human Services, 2010)" }, "properties" : { "noteIndex" : 0 }, "schema" : "https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json" } (National Institutes of Health & US Department of Health and Human Services, 2010). It can be found in the Earth`s crust but it does not occur in its elemental state. It is typically found in ores or it may combine with other elements to form lead compounds. Unlike steel, metallic lead is resistant to corrosion ADDIN Mendeley Citation{0bce6178-aa3b-4226-85c7-e91d64ce7d8c} CSL_CITATION { "citationItems" : [ { "id" : "ITEM-1", "itemData" : { "author" : [ { "family" : "Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry", "given" : "" } ], "id" : "ITEM-1", "issued" : { "date-parts" : [ [ "2007" ] ] }, "publisher" : "U.S. Department of Health and Human Services", "publisher-place" : "Atlanta", "title" : "Toxicological Profile for Lead", "type" : "book" }, "uris" : [ "/documents/?uuid=0bce6178-aa3b-4226-85c7-e91d64ce7d8c" ] } ], "mendeley" : { "previouslyFormattedCitation" : "(Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, 2007)" }, "properties" : { "noteIndex" : 0 }, "schema" : "https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json" } (Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, 2007). It can be molded and shaped easily. When combined with other metals, lead can be used in a number of applications. At present, the most common use for lead is in storage batteries of cars and other vehicles. Lead alloys are also found in pipes, cable covers, sheets, and ammunition. Meanwhile, lead compounds may be used in paints, dyes, ceramic glazes, children`s toys, ammunition, etc.
Organic lead compounds may decompose when exposed to UV radiation (for atleast 1 hour for every 254 nm) and sunlight ADDIN Mendeley Citation{426cca72-904e-4842-bed7-3310d7dfdf0c} CSL_CITATION { "citationItems" : [ { "id" : "ITEM-1", "itemData" : { "author" : [ { "family" : "National Institutes of Health", "given" : "" }, { "family" : "US Department of Health and Human Services", "given" : "" } ], "id" : "ITEM-1", "issued" : { "date-part...
