Results are presented for an interlaboratory proficiency study of blood lead determinations. Samples were pooled from individuals occupationally exposed to lead. Performance of individual laboratories is compared over a two year period. With increased emphasis in recent years on proficiency studies of this type, agreement between laboratories has been somewhat improved, but blood remains a difficult matrix in which to measure lead concentration.
