Abstract
This paper reports the preliminary findings of a survey of lead and cadmium body burdens in a nonoccupationally exposed population in Swansea, Wales, using the techniques of in vivo neutron activation and X-ray fluorescence analysis. Some measurements on an occupationally cadmium-exposed group are also included. The results confirm the association between cadmium and smoking and bone lead and age. The in vivo measurements demonstrate a degree of comparability with other data, which supports the further detailed analysis of the relationships between body burden and exposure, on the one hand, and possible health effects on the other.
