Emotional and behavioral problems show up even with low exposure to
lead, and as blood lead levels increase in children, so do the
problems, according to research funded by the National Institute of
Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), part of the National Institutes
of Health. The results were published online June 30 in the journal
JAMA Pediatrics.
preschool children in China were associated with increased risk of
behavioral and emotional problems, such as being anxious, depressed, or
aggressive. The average blood lead level in the children was 6.4
micrograms per deciliter.
