Abstract
We present here the delayed leakage of lysosome acridine orange in cell cultures exposed to lead acetate. Delayed leakage was accompanied by loss of actin. These responses were not elicited by sodium acetate but could be duplicated by extracts of air sample filters from a high air pollution area but not a cleaner air site.
