Food Exposures to Lead
Exposures to lead have emanated from various sources, including food, throughout human history. Occupational and environmental exposures (especially pica) appear to account for much of the identified human disease, however, food-borne exposures deserve further investigation. Lead residues in food can result from: biological uptake from soils into plants consumed by food animals or man, usage of...
متن کاملα-Lead tellurite from single-crystal data
The crystal structure of the title compound, α-PbTeO(3) (PTO), has been reported previously by Mariolacos [Anz. Oesterr. Akad. Wiss. Math. Naturwiss. Kl. (1969), 106, 128-130], refined on powder data. The current determination at room temperature from data obtained from single crystals grown by the Czochralski method shows a significant improvement in the precision of the geometric parameters w...
متن کاملVery low lead exposures and children's neurodevelopment.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW We remain far from achieving the goal of eliminating lead-associated neurodevelopmental morbidities in children. New evidence regarding the blood lead levels at which morbidities occur have led to calls for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to reduce the current screening guideline of 10 microg/dl. The review evaluates the basis for these calls. RECENT FINDINGS ...
متن کاملExposures to lead require ongoing vigilance.
Editor — We concur with the concerns over the safety of lead expressed in the article by Helen Gavaghan (1). In many countries, environmental exposure to lead has been a protracted public health concern because of its known neurodevelopmental effects. Common lead sources include paints, industrial emissions, crockery fired with leadcontaining ceramic glaze, lead-soldered food cans and exhaust f...
