Environmental lead exposure during early childhood.
OBJECTIVE To determine the relative contribution of residential lead hazards to children's blood lead concentrations during early childhood. METHODS We enrolled children 6 months of age and followed them until 24 months of age. Blood and samples of dust, soil, water and paint were analyzed for lead at 6-month intervals, and interviews were conducted to estimate nutritional, behavioral, and de...
متن کاملSeasonal influences on childhood lead exposure.
We conducted a study to examine seasonal changes in residential dust lead content and its relationship to blood lead in preschool children. We collected blood and dust samples (floors, windowsills, and carpets) to assess lead exposure. The geometric mean blood lead concentrations are 10.77 and 7.66 microg/dL for the defined hot and cold periods, respectively (p < 0.05). Lead loading (milligrams...
متن کاملLow-level lead exposure and behavior in early childhood.
OBJECTIVE To assess whether small elevations in blood lead level were associated with measurable behavioral changes in a group of poor children between 1 and 3 years old. METHODS The study population consisted of children presenting for routine well-child care to the pediatric clinic at Bellevue Hospital Center, a large urban public hospital. The following inclusion criteria were used for ent...
متن کاملMethodology, inference and causation: environmental lead exposure and childhood intelligence.
Kaufman's critique of the literature on the associations between lead exposure and child intelligence raises important methodological and inferential points. We address the concerns he raises regarding measuring known and unknown confounders, statistical modeling, reverse causality and quality control. Mismeasurement of potential confounders of the lead-IQ relationship, such as parenting skills...
متن کاملThe association between caries and childhood lead exposure.
Epidemiologic studies suggest an association between lead exposure and caries. Our objective was to establish whether children with a higher lead exposure as toddlers had more caries at school age than children with a lower lead exposure. We used a retrospective cohort design. A sample of children who attended second and fifth grades in the Rochester, New York, public schools during the 1995-19...
