这项研究的目的是测量野味肉类消费者的血中铅(铅)水平，并考虑到其他可能的铅暴露来源。对95名受试者采集了现场血样，并使用问卷收集了关于食用野味、狩猎、饮酒和其他可能的铅暴露来源的一般信息和数据。采用电感耦合等离子体质谱检测外周血。年龄、性别、城乡居住地、食用野味、吸烟或与潜在铅接触有关的嗜好不影响血铅水平，不食用野味者血铅中位数为1.7(第5~95百分位数1.0~5.3)mU/dL，食用者中位数为3.4(0.9~6.1)mU g/dL。多元线性回归分析(包括性别、年龄、狩猎、饮酒、食用野味、吸烟、射击场和职业暴露)发现，狩猎(猎人的血铅几乎是猎人的两倍)和饮酒(饮酒者高40%)与狩猎有关，但与食用野味或其他参数无关。血铅水平较高是因为在用铅弹药射击时吸入了铅烟雾，还是因为处理了铅弹药，还是两者兼而有之。
The aim of this study was to measure lead (Pb) levels in blood (Pb-blood) in consumers of game meat, taking into account other possible sources of lead exposure. A spot blood sample was obtained from 95 subjects, and a questionnaire was used to collect general information and data on game meat consumption, hunting, wine drinking and other possible sources of lead exposure. Pb-blood was measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Pb-blood was not influenced by age, sex, residence in an urban or rural area, consumption of game meat, tobacco smoking or hobbies associated with potential exposure to lead, and median Pb-blood was 1.7 (5th-95th percentile 1.0-5.3) mu g/dL and 3.4 (0.9-6.1) mu g/dL for game meat non-eaters and eater, respectively. A multiple linear regression analysis (containing the covariates sex, age, hunting, wine drinking, game meat consumption, tobacco smoking, shooting range, and occupational exposure) found an association with hunting (Pb-blood almost double in hunters) and wine drinking (40% higher in drinkers) but not with consumption of game meat or other parameters. Whether the higher Pb-blood level was due to inhalation of lead fumes while shooting with lead ammunition, to handling lead ammunition or both could not be ascertained.
