The effect of lead exposure on rate of spontaneous abortion of workers at a
battery factory was studied. The study comprised 25 male workers in a leadsmelter
and controls of 24 male university employees without any known
occupational exposure to t
oxic agent. The most interesting outcome of the
present study has been the discovery of high incidence of spontaneous abortion
in lead-exposed workers compared to that of controls. Comparative evaluation
between smokers and non-smokers with respect to the incidence of spontaneous
abortion does not exhibit any statistically significant variations in lead-exposed
workers and controls as well. However, such findings are considered to be
indicative of the possible existence of a genetic risk and sufficient for justifying
further work on a wider scale of risk assessment and occupational hazard in
Jordan.
