Childhood Exposure to Environmental Lead

1974
1 to 5% of urban adults have blood lead values ≥ 40 μgPb/100 ml whole blood whereas approximately 25% of urban children have blood leads at this level. The metabolic exposure (μgPb/kg body weight) of children is over three times adult exposure for assumed normal absorption and ingestion of lead and twice the exposure of adults for inhaled lead.

Paternal Exposure to Lead and Infertility

Epidemiology, 2000
To assess whether paternal exposure to lead is associated with infertility, we performed a register-based study among married men biologically monitored for exposure to inorganic lead. We obtained information about the marriages and the wives of the men from the Finnish Central Population Register. Data on pregnancies were obtained from medical records.

Occupational lead exposure and women

Preventive Medicine, 1978
Abstract The toxicity of lead has been known for approximately 2000 years, but the issue of women exposed to lead in the workplace has received relatively little attention until recent years. The major thesis of this paper is that the fetus represents an organism which is sensitive to lead and that the fetus is exposed to lead through the mother by ...

An Update on Exposure and Effects of Lead

Fundamental and Applied Toxicology, 1992
Lead is perhaps the oldest of industrial toxins, dating back to Roman times. Despite the historic knowledge of lead, this metal remains a public health concern today. This is due both to the pervasiveness of lead in the environment and to the awareness of toxic effects of lead occurring at exposure levels lower than previously thought harmful.
