What is it about?
Relationship between years of work, DNA damage and BLL was found. BLL increases MDA levels and inhibits δ-ALAD and DNA-repair. Relationship between DNA damage with δ-ALAD activity and DNA-repair. Workers exposed to lead repair 50 % of radiation-induced damage. DNA repair in Pb-exposed workers does not depend on δ-ALAD activity or MDA levels.

Why is it important?
Understanding the risks must be fundamental to establishing strategies on site to reduce risk and effects on those involved in the work.
