No toxic substance has probably received as much attention over so long a period of time as has lead. Investigation of its health consequences focused initially on occupational exposure where the association between cause and effect was most clearly apparent. In a seminal treatise published in 1839, Tanquerel des Planches described the health effects of occupational lead poisoning with remarkable accuracy and in great detail. This triggered a period of intensive clinical and experimental investigation. The special problem of lead poisoning in children was not widely known until later. In 1892, the disease as it occurred in children was first described in the Brisbane area of Australia (Gibson et al. 1892). A few years later, Gibson identified chalking lead-based paint in homes as the source (Gibson 1904). These publications and others by the Brisbane group led to the
