Cereal and Juice, Lead and Arsenic, Our Children at Risk
Eliminating heavy metal contamination of foods is a goal yet to be achieved in the U.S. In recent months, efforts have been underway to have the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) re-evaluate the permissible limits of lead (Pb) and arsenic (As) allowable in cereals and juices aimed for consumption by children. This report discusses the recent scientific literature that support proposed revisions in these limits. It presents proactive suggestions …
Clinician follow-up of children screened for lead poisoning
OBJECTIVES: This study assessed clinicians' compliance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations for follow-up of children with blood lead (BPb) levels of 0.48 mumol/L (10 micrograms/dL) or higher. METHODS: Clinicians' success at follow-up was determined for 3 BPb ranges: > or = 0.97 mumol/L, 0.73 through 0.92 mumol/L, and 0.48 through 0.68 mumol/L (> or = 20 micrograms/dL, 15-19 micrograms/dL, and 10-14 micrograms/dL, respe…
Intrauterine cocaine, lead, and nicotine exposure and fetal growth
Intrauterine tobacco, lead, and cocaine exposure often co-occur and may affect fetal growth and development, yet studies of gestational cocaine effects have not adequately measured lead or tobacco. In this anonymous survey, blood lead and urine cotinine levels were determined and mothers were queried about tobacco use. Eighteen cocaine-exposed mother-infant dyads had higher lead and cotinine levels than 46 random nonexposed dyads, regardless of r…
