Follow-up of a call for assistance when 12 out of approximately 30 horses pastured in a field directly across from an oil refinery were found dead revealed that approximately 25 more horses had died in the nearby area within a two-year period. Animal studies indicated lead as the etiologic agent and defined the area of contamination. Urinalysis of specimens from a selected population of adults and young children in the Vallejo-Benicia area show no lead intoxication in the human population. Possible lead sources in the area are being evaluated.
