Workers who produce or use lead should be aware of possible ha2ards. Symptoms of chronic lead poisoning include fatigue, headache, constipation, uneasy stomach, irritabiHty, poor appetite, metallic taste, weight loss, and loss of sleep. Most of these same symptoms also occur in many common illnesses, such as the flu, thus a physician must rely on tests, such as blood lead analysis, to determine chronic lead poisoning. 

Toxicity. Lethality is the primary ha2ard of phosphine exposure. Phosphine may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through skin. AH phosphine-related effects seen at sublethal inhalation exposure concentrations are relatively small and completely reversible. The symptoms of sublethal phosphine inhalation exposure include headache, weakness, fatigue, di22iness, and tightness of the chest. Convulsions may be observed prior to death in response to high levels of phosphine inhalation. Some data are given in Table 2. 

Stress or fatigue fractures are very painful. Most often symptoms occur after athletic activity or physical exertion. Gradually pain worsens and becomes more constant. Stress fractures do not show up on standard x-rays. A bone scan maybe used to confirm the diagnosis. Stress fractures usually occur in the weight-bearing bones of the lower leg and foot. Stress fractures of the tibia account for half of all stress fractures, resulting mostly from athletic activity. These stress fractures are often mistaken for shin splints. In addition to the tibia, the fibula and other small bones of the foot are prone to stress fractures. 

When clonidine is withdrawn abmpdy, patients may experience a rebound hypertensive phenomenon, whereia blood pressure rises rapidly to a level higher than the predmg level. These patients may experience symptoms of headache, tachycardia, agitation, and nervousness. If rebound hypertension occurs, resumption of clonidine therapy or adrninistration of phentolamine reduces the blood pressure. For clonidine withdrawal, the dose should be reduced gradually over a two-week period. The principal side effects are sedation, dry mouth, drowsiaess, di22iQess, and fatigue.

Bradycardia Bradycardia is a slow heart rate (60 beats per minute or slower) that does not meet the body s metabolic demands. Symptoms of bradycardia include dizziness, extreme fatigue, shortness of breath, or fainting spells. This can be compared to tachycardia, which is an extremely rapid heart rate, usually signified by a pulse of over 100 beats per minute. Adults usually have a resting heart rate of 70-80 beats per minute, although well-trained athletes can have resting rates in the 50 s or 60 s. Newborn babies have a normal heart rate of 120-160 beats per minute. A slowed heart rate can lead to a variety of other problems. First aid treatment may include administration of oxygen. 

Allergic alveolitis An allergic response to inhalation of organic particles that involves inflammation of the small terminal branches of the bronchioles. Symptoms include coughing, increased production of mucus, fever, fatigue, and muscle aches. 

The disease affects predominantly young women. Nearly all of the patients suffer from symptoms such as fatigue, weight loss, and fever and have chronic arthritis. In addition, nearly all organs of the body can be affected to various degrees. Clinically, the severity of the disease can vary within wide ranges. In cases where organs are affected, the disease in former times was lethal without therapy within 10 years in 50% of the patients.
