My friend's husband worked in a car-battery plant (Exide) and apparently he was able to bring home enough lead from working there that their daughter's level became dangerously high. He found another job and the kid's level went down. I know other people who have worked there who had to sign waivers absolving the company from any liability related to the lead, and saying they had been informed of the dangers of working there.
I thought chelation was some kind of new-age type holistic treatment. Maybe I'm thinking of something else with a similar name?
