Fetal Lead Exposure at Each Stage of Pregnancy as a Predictor of Infant Mental Development
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2006)
Background: The impact of prenatal lead exposure on neurodevelopment remains unclear in terms of consistency, the trimester of greatest vulnerability, and the best method for estimating fetal lead exposure. Objective: We ...
Variants in iron metabolism genes predict higher blood lead levels in young children
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2008)
Background: Given the association between iron deficiency and lead absorption, we hypothesized that variants in iron metabolism genes would predict higher blood lead levels in young children. Objective: We examined the ...
Associations of Early Childhood Manganese and Lead Coexposure with Neurodevelopment
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2011)
Background: Most toxicologic studies focus on a single agent, although this does not reflect real-world scenarios in which humans are exposed to multiple chemicals. Objectives: We prospectively studied manganese–lead ...
