The urine lead excretion rate rises when there is much lead in the body. Before and after chelation therapy, urine lead excretion rates have been used to figure out how much lead people have been exposed to. Lead excretion rates in the post-chelation specimen should rise to 6 times the pace in the pre-chelation sample. This is average Blood lead is the best way to tell if something is toxic.
