In addition, more than half of the people sampled had lead levels in excess of 50 parts per mil lion, compared to the norm of 4 to 11 ppm. “The levels offer pretty good evidence of elevated lead levels (in residents) around the smel ters,” said Dr. James C. Garriott, chief toxicologist at the Dallas County Institute of Forensic Sci ences. Dr. Robert E. Jervis, chairman of research for the University of Toronto, said: “Even if you sample 100 people, even in one of them, you should not expect anything above 50 ppm. If you do, it’s a sign of some contamination. ” Jervis said hair lead levels in excess of 100 ppm are a signal that a person should seek medical aid. The most contaminated hair sample was that of a 13-year-old girl living near the RSR Corp. lead smelter. The federally approved laboratory results revealed the lead level in her hair was 246 ppm — more than 22 times the level established as a norm for the Dal las area, the newspaper reported. Her mother said the 5-foot-2, 58-pound girl suffers from loss of appetite, vomiting, headaches, irritability, arm pains and be havioral changes — all symptoms of lead contamination, according to numerous studies. Among other findings: — The average for all samples was 68 ppm, compared to the norm of 4-11 ppm. — Elevated levels of cancer- causing cadmium — as high as 10.4 ppm — were found in 65 resi dents. The laboratory established an average cadmium level for Dal las residents of 0.3 to 1.1 ppm. — More than half of those tested had high calcium levels in their hair. The U.S. Environmental Pro tection Agency and the Dallas En vironmental Services Department discovered high levels of lead in the soil of some residences, play grounds and other locations near the three smelters. Lead levels were as high as 90 times the levels some medical experts say can re sult in adverse health effects, in cluding brain damage in children. More than 10,000 residents who live within a 2-mile radius of the smelters have been tested in a city-sponsored blood testing prog ram. Initial results have shown ab out one percent are suffering from lead toxicity. In addition, the Baylor College of Dentistry is analyzing the teeth of children who live near the smel ters, a test considered perhaps the most accurate indicator of the body’s lead content.

Bullock: Alcohol was a problem God.” He said his recent treatment at the Care Manor Hospital in Orange, Calif., had been effec tive and described his doctor, Jospeh Pursch, as the world’s leading authority on alco holism. Bullock, a Democrat who has held his post since 1974, said he assumed his drinking would be come an issue in his re-election bid, but would not comment until he felt more fully reco vered. Bullock then reeled off a list of politicians and actors, rang ing from Betty Ford to the late John Wayne, that had been tre ated for the same problem by Pursch. “I went wanting his help and seeking his help, knowing I couldn’t do it myself,” he said. “I had tried and I couldn’t do it. With alcohol I was under its control. The slave had become the master and I wanted free of it.” TRYING TO MAKE ENDS MEET? See us at KlNKO f S .We offer the finest quality copies found any where.
