High impact information on oxolead

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the percutaneous penetration of lead oxide (PbO) powder and the effect of rapid skin decontamination with two different detergents [1].
For those shooting ranges with acidic soil pH, hydrocerussite, cerussite (PbCO3), and small amount of massicot (PbO) were predominantly present in the weathered crusts, but no lead carbonate mineral was found in the soils [2].
This study was performed to determine whether inhalation of particulate lead oxide (PbO), at a concentration below the currently acceptable air lead standard for occupational exposure, disrupts macrophage (M phi) functions important for maintaining pulmonary immunocompetence [3].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of oxolead

New information on the composition of bint al Dhahab, a mixed lead monoxide used as a traditional medicine in Oman and the United Arab Emirates [4].
