Add to ORKGThe assessment of past chronic lead exposure is diffi-cult. Chronic lead burden is not always correctly as-sessed using laboratory-based tests that are useful for acute or recent exposures. We describe a case of sus-pected chronic lead exposure that illustrated the need for improved and possibly noninvasive methods to determine cumulative lead body burden. X-Ray fluores-cence (XRF) is discussed as a method to obtain in vivo bone lead measurements. We discuss the potential of such measurements as accurate biomarkers of cumula-tive exposure and whether XRF can be used for retroac-tive exposure assessment or to predict risk of future health problems
