Lead concentration in blood is considered alarming if it is -

  1. 4-6 g/100 mL
  2. 30 g/100 mL
  3. 20 g/100 mL
  4. 10 g/100 mL

Answer

(2) 30 g/100 mL

Solution

Normal lead concentration in human blood is about 4–20 g/100 mL.

⇒ Lead (mainly from leaded petrol exhaust, paints and pipes) accumulates in the body and damages the nervous system, kidneys and haemoglobin synthesis.

⇒ A blood-lead level of about 30 g/100 mL or more is considered alarming (lead poisoning).

∴ The alarming level is 30 g/100 mL.
