Quality assurance and control
All blood heavy-metal analyses were carried out by Seoul Medical Science Institute (SMSI), a laboratory certified by the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare. For the internal quality assurance and control program, commercial reference materials were obtained from Bio-RAD (Lyphochek [1] Whole Blood Metals Control), which showed that the coefficients of variation were 8.2% for three blood lead samples (reference values: 8.5, 26.0, and 48.0 μg/dL), 14.5% for three blood cadmium samples (reference values: 0.37, 1.11, and 4.30 μg/L), and 8.3% for three blood mercury samples (reference values: 4.7, 36.8, and 68.7 μg/L).
