Blood lead concentrations and body iron status were investigated in 279 children. Blood lead concentrations showed no increase during iron depletion phase ( stage I) but markedly increased from the phase of iron deficient erythropoiesis ( stage II). Increased blood lead concentrations in anaemic subjects significantly decreased after iron supplementation.
