Abstract EN
Objective : To determine the lead level (Pb-B) and Aminolevulinic Acid Dehydratase (ALAD) activity in the blood of non-occupationally exposed men as a baseline for comparative studies.
Methods : Blood samples were collected from 88 Jordanian men without occupational exposure, where Pb-B was determined by flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry.
ALAD activity was determined using the European standardized method.
Results : Pb-B level ranged from 0.3-10.8fig / dlwith a mean of 2.64fig / dl.
The mean ALAD activity was 47 units per liter with a range of 34-61 U / L.
Conclusion : The Pb-B and ALAD activity indicate lower levels of exposure to lead in non-occupationally exposed men in the study group than in other countries.
