Nyrstar plans to progressively reduce lead in blood levels such that ultimately 95% of all children meet the national goal of 10 micrograms per decilitre.
The median blood lead concentrations for men, women, and boys and girls aged 11 to 15 years, were 3.6, 2.6, 2.2 and 1.7 microgrammes per decilitre respectively.
Some of the formulae are derived to use serum creatinine in milligrams per decilitre (mg/dl).
