Apr 22, 2024 · The ABLES program was created to reduce elevated blood lead levels (BLLs) among working adults 16 years and older. Impact Participating in ABLES helps health departments monitor workplace lead exposure trends occurring within their state.
Apr 22, 2024 · CDC/NIOSH researchers assess workplace lead exposure trends across the United States using the state data compiled through the Adult Blood Lead Exposure Surveillance (ABLES) program. Among adults with known lead exposures and blood lead levels (BLLs) of 10 µg/dL or more, about 90% had occupational exposure.
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) established the Adult Blood Lead Epidemiology and Surveillance (ABLES) program with 4 states in 1987 to monitor occupational lead exposure. ABLES is a longstanding U.S. state-based surveillance effort that tracks lead exposures among adults currently in 41 states.
Oct 14, 2016 · ABLES’ impact is achieved through its longstanding strategic partnerships with state ABLES programs, federal agencies, and worker-affiliated organizations. For example, in 2008, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) updated its National Lead Emphasis Program to reduce occupational lead exposure by targeting unsafe ...
Apr 11, 2024 · The ABLES program uses 5 µg/dL to indicate an elevated BLL for surveillance purposes. If pregnant, you should not exceed 5 µg/dL. The National Toxicology Program (NTP) concluded that women who are pregnant with BLLs even lower than 5 …
Apr 17, 2009 · ABLES reporting benchmarks include BLLs ≥25 µg/dL and BLLs ≥40 µg/dL. State ABLES programs collect data on adult BLLs from laboratories and health-care providers through mandatory reporting requirements. ABLES states then intervene to prevent lead overexposures in worksites where elevated exposures occur.
Jul 1, 2011 · CDC's state-based Adult Blood Lead Epidemiology and Surveillance (ABLES) program tracks laboratory-reported elevated BLLs. To update rate trends and identify industry subsectors and nonoccupational activities with high lead exposures, CDC collected and analyzed 2008--2009 data from 40 state ABLES programs.
lance (ABLES) program to track cases of elevated BLLs and provide intervention consultation and other assistance. Overall ABLES program data were last published in 1999 for the years 1994–1997. This report provides an update with data from 25 states reporting for >2 years during 1998–2001. During that period, the ABLES program funded
Healthcare providers should follow recommendations based on blood lead levels.
