ABSTRACT
Blood lead levels were determined in preschool children residing in Urban areas of Rawalpindi city. Of 92 [50 males and 42 females] children aged one to 5 years were included in the study. Blood lead levels ranged from 7 ug/dl to 34 ug/dI [mean 18.8 ug/dI]. The mean lead levels were slightly higher in males [20.3 ug/dI] than in females [17.2 ug/dl] and over 90% children had lead levels above the acceptable limit of 10 ug/dl. Use of leaded petrol, contaminated surma, leaded paints and pica in children are common in our country and may lead to increased lead levels and appropriate measures should be taken to control this trend
