The determination of Pb in human whole blood is perhaps the most common application of biological monitoring in occupational and environmental health. However, the lack of an adequate reference material has prevented a thorough evaluation of current analytical methods for Pb in blood and hence the evaluation of data generated by using such methods. As a result the concentration of Pb in human whole blood is not accurately known. In this paper the authors report the preparation and analysis of two freeze-dried bovine whole blood reference specimens containing two different levels of Pb.
