* A person aged ≥16 years at the time of blood collection. When an adult had multiple blood lead tests in a given year, only the highest blood
lead level for that adult in that year was counted. Rate per 100,000 employed adults. Data from the Adult Blood Epidemiology and Surveillance
(ABLES) Program, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH/CDC). Denominators extracted from 2015 U.S. Department of
Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program available at http://www.bls.gov/lau/staadata.txt.
† A total of # states participated in the ABLES Program in 2015 and 2016.
§ The numbers and rates of adults with BLLs ≥25 μg/dL are subsets of the numbers and rates of adults with BLLs ≥10 μg/dL, which are subsets .
of the numbers and rates of adults with BLLs ≥5 μg/dL.
¶ All cases reported by a state. These include cases among adult residents in the reporting state plus cases identified by the reporting state but who reside in another state.
** Adults residing in the reporting state.
†† 10–24 μg/dL BLL data were not available.
