Cerebrospinal fluid lead

The average lead load in adults is 121 mg. The digestive tract consumes about 10% of lead from food and water. About 40% of lead inhaled through the respiratory tract is absorbed. The absorbed lead is distributed in criminal tissues such as the liver, spleen, kidney, and brain through the blood. Later, lead is redistributed in the body, and 90% is stored in bones.
