Blood lead concentrations (Pb-B, microgram/100 ml) was measured in children and adults, both sexes, living in and around Liège (control group, n = 859) and in the urban center of Verviers (exposed group, n = 568) where houses with lead piping are supplied with corrosive drinking water. In control children, the mean Pb-B increases with age; in control adults the levels are higher than for children, but are independent of age (ranges: males 19.1 - 21.1; females 12.9 - 16.9). In exposed children aged 5-14 years, the mean Pb-B is higher than in young exposed adults: these children constitute thus a high risk group. In the exposed adults, the mean Pb-B rises also with age (ranges: male 24.2 - 33.5; females 19.4 - 32.3). Our epidemiological survey shows that the safety margin of the present EEC figures is acceptable for children exposed to the low and usual urban Pb concentrations.

Making sense of the European Union (EU) and its institutions rests largely on the understanding that essentially all its endeavours are an attempt to guarantee the four freedoms of movement--of goods, services, labour and capital--that are the pre-requisites for the creation of an economic area without internal frontiers and the establishment of economic and social union. With the ratification of the Treaty on European Union (Maastricht Treaty) the EU also aims to assert its identity on the international scene; strengthen the protection of the rights and interests of the nationals of its Member States; develop close cooperation on justice and home affairs; and maintain in full the acquis communautaire (the evolving legacy of EU developed principles and laws). It is the four freedoms of movement, however, that remain the dynamo that drives EU thinking. To disregard this fundamental concept is to ensure that the EU will for ever remain a mystery.
