Abstract
This paper presents a study of five metals content in biosamples of placenta, maternal venous blood, cord blood from 32 occupationally lead exposed female workers and 32 controls. The results showed that lead levels in biosamples of lead exposed individuals were significantly greater than those from controls. Results also showed that there existed very close relationships between placental lead and maternal blood lead, placental lead and cord blood lead, maternal blood lead and cord blood lead, showing that there was a lead transfer from the mother to the child via the placenta. The relationships between metals in the biosamples were also discussed in the paper.
