I am including the statistics that you requested for concurrent blood
Pb. They are as follows:

 

                N        mean      5%        50%         95%

<7.5       103       3.24     1.30      3.00         6.00

>=7.5    1230   12.92      3.50    10.05       34.00

 

<10         244     4.30      1.40      4.15        8.00

>=10     1089   13.93     4.30     11.03      35.40

 

Let me know if this satisfies your needs.

Dear Drs. Dietrich and Hornung,

As a follow-up to my conversation with Dr. Dietrich, here is the e-mail

specifying the additional information we would like to request from

Lanphear et al. (2005).  The paper states that the concurrent median

blood lead concentration for the study population was 9.7 ug/dL

(5th-95th:  2.5-33.2).  Would you please provide us with the concurrent

median (5th-95th percentile range) blood lead concentrations for the

subsets <10 ug/dL and <7.5 ug/dL as well?

As you are aware, the Pb NAAQS review is on a very tight court-ordered

deadline.  We would greatly appreciate your prompt response.

Many thanks,

Young
