Bone analysis: silent testimony of lead exposures in the past / Phillipe Grandjean.

Title: Bone analysis: silent testimony of lead exposures in the past / Phillipe Grandjean.
Author(s): Grandjean, Phillipe.
Date: 1989.
In: Meddelelser om Grønland. Man and Society. (1989.), Vol. 12 (1989)
Abstract: Examination of Eskimo corpses found in West Greenland in 1972 and dating from 15th century.
