The control of the lead risk among shipbreakers presents great practical difficulty. Measures for the prevention of plumbism applied successfully in other industries are here impracticable, with the result that the breaking up of a heavily leaded ship is almost invariably responsible for a number of cases of lead poisoning and much ill-health stopping just short of incapacity for work.
