背景和目的：评估未接触汽油铅的儿童血铅浓度（B-Pb）。在以前的论文中，我们报告了1978年至1994年期间的结果（测量了2441名儿童）。发现B-Pb大幅度下降，这反映了逐步禁止汽油铅的有益效果。自1994年以来，在瑞典出售的汽油已不含铅。方法：在瑞典南部，每年从1995年至2001年，在329名男孩和345名女孩，年龄7-11 years.Results：B-Pb的几何平均数（GM）为21（范围6-80）mug/l。1995 ~ 2001年B-Pb含量变化不一致。生活在铅冶炼厂附近的儿童已经提高了B-Pb（GM 24 mug/l，范围11-80）。被动吸烟，但不是年龄和性别，影响B-Pb显着。结论：B-Pb在瑞典儿童，不再接触汽油铅，似乎已经稳定在平均水平接近20杯/升（提供附近的工业铅排放）。
Background and Aims: To assess blood lead concentrations (B-Pb) in children not exposed to petrol lead. In a previous paper we reported the results for the period 1978-94 (2441 children measured). A substantial decrease of B-Pb was found, which reflected a beneficial effect of gradual banning of petrol lead. Since 1994, petrol sold in Sweden has not contained lead.Methods: In the south of Sweden, each year from 1995 to 2001, B-Pb was measured in 329 boys and 345 girls, aged 7-11 years.Results: The geometric mean (GM) of B-Pb was 21 (range 6-80) mug/l. There was no consistent change of B-Pb from 1995 to 2001. Children living near a lead smelter had raised B-Pb (GM 24 mug/l, range 11-80). Passive smoking, but not age and sex, influenced B-Pb significantly.Conclusions: B-Pb in Swedish children, no longer exposed to petrol lead, seems to have stabilised at an average level close to 20 mug/l (provided there is no nearby industrial lead emission).
