Not true!! Go back and look at the chart;
your son peed lead before the drug came along and made him pee more of it.
Wikipedia article on lead poisoning says "The chelate that is thus formed is nontoxic and can be excreted in the urine,
initially at up to 50 times the normal rate."
50 times!
See, the reason the six hour number is more interesting is that most of the stuff is peed out during that time frame. After six hours, you're just peeing pee, ya follow?
So, now that we see that post-chelation urinary numbers for lead are not interesting, not informative, not indicative of anything, because they can be up to
50 times the amount found in the urine pre-chelation...
...the next most relevant question is,
what are your son's blood lead levels?
