Blood lead levels in sheep exposed to automotive emissions.

Abstract:

:The lead content of whole blood of 62 sheep grazed continuously for 6 months near a major highway was compared with 38 sheep from a nearby uncontaminated area. Mean values of 0.90 and 0.20 microgram/ml were obtained. Four sheep from the contaminated area were placed in an uncontaminated paddock and the lead content of the blood decreased rapidly during the first 10 days and thereafter more slowly. After 185 days, blood lead levels had still not quite reached normal levels. Animal from an uncontaminated area showed an immediate rise in the blood lead levels when placed near a major highway. Sheep placed in a concrete pen away from motor vehicle exhaust emissions showed a rise in lead levels when fed with forage cut from the verges of a busy highway. Sheep placed near a highway and fed with forage from an uncontaminated area showed an increase of lead levels in the blood, comparable to that of the previous experiment. It was concluded that lead uptake by ingestion of polluted forage and by inhalation of airborne particulates are both mechanisms responsible for enhanced lead levels in ovine blood.
