QUESTION: Lead information for 65 year old plumber. 12 Jan 2007 ACT, Australia

My husband is a 65 year old plumber. A recent visit to a psychologist suggested that many of his symptoms fit with possible lead poisoning so I am anxious to locate as much information about lead poisoning in adults as I can find. Unfortunately my computer is too old so many of the fact sheets don't load. I am happy to pay for copies & mail.

Questions.

Am I able to request snail mail copies of your fact sheets? I am particularly interested in nos 1, 5, 24, 28, 29, 33, 34
Does your library hold copies of the references attached to the fact sheet titled Health Impacts of Lead Poisoning
