ABSTRACT
Examination of traffic policemen in Sydney showed that those exposed to motor vehicle emissions had blood lead levels within normal limits but marginally higher than those unexposed. Carboxyhaemoglobin levels depended only on cigarette smoking and were unrelated to exposure to motor vehicle emmissions.
