Although it is known that lead is a neurotoxin that negatively impacts cognitive functions at low blood concentrations (B-Pb), little is known about the impact of early exposure on later cognitive functions.This study assesses the effects of very low lead exposure in early childhood on teenage cognitive performance.Using data collected between 1978 and 2007, we analyzed B-Pb (median 30μg/L; six-fold...
Objectives The aim of the study was to make an international comparison of blood levels of cadmium (B-Cd), lead (B-Pb) and mercury (B-Hg) of women in seven European, and three non-European cities, and to identify determinants. Materials and Methods About 50 women (age: 46–62) from each city were recruited (totally 480) in 2006–2009. Interview and questionnaire data were obtained. Blood samples were...

Traditional gold mining, using metallic mercury (Hg 0 ) to form gold amalgam, followed by burning to remove the Hg 0 , is widely used in South America, Africa and Asia. The gold is sold to merchants who burn it again to eliminate remaining Hg 0 .In Ecuador, 200 gold miners, 37 gold merchants and 72 referents were studied. The median Hg concentrations in urine (U-Hg) were 3...
