Two hundred and four children and infants from Argenton and Boolaroo were surveyed for blood lead and hemoglobin levels. None of the children surveyed showed an abnormally high blood lead level, or low hemoglobin level, and none of the potentially high exposure groups had elevated blood lead levels. Thus the survey did not indicate any excessive absorption of lead among the children examined, despite their proximity to a lead smelting complex.
