Abstract
Present evidence on the relation between neuropsychological deficit and lead levels in mineralised tissues is equivocal, and attention continues to be given to analyses of mature primary teeth (Ma83, Sm83). It is usual to base such surveys on analyses of a reference material suitable for quality control (St82).
