The major source of lead is the combustion of leaded petrol. The most lead intake by a big city dweller is from diet 200-300 &amp;micro;g per day, air and water adding a further 10-15 &amp;micro;g per day, each of this total intake, approximately 200 &amp;micro;g of lead is exerted while 25 &amp;micro;g is stored in the bones every day. The present work deals the effect of lead on human health and its removal by Dithiazone and Atomic-Absorption Method (Chelation Extraction).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
