It presents some illustrations of the intersection in the nineteenth century of lead poisoning as a health issue and the industrial development of societies that produced greatly expanded exposures of diverse human populations to lead as a consequence. The first several decades of the twentieth century...
Lead poisoning, deleterious effect of a gradual accumulation of lead in the body, as a result of repeated exposure to lead-containing substances. In humans the main sources of lead are usually lead-based paint and drinking water carried through lead pipe
Molecular genetic susceptibility to lead poisoning 来自 NCBI 喜欢 0 阅读量: 17 作者:S Wu,C Yan 摘要: It was reported that three polymorphic genes were identified to be able to potentially influence the bioaccumulation and toxicokinetics of lead in humans. These genes are δ aminolevulinic acid ...
Treatment of lead poisoning includes identifying and removing the source of lead, a diet high in calcium and iron, and careful monitoring of blood lead levels. Individuals with a very high blood lead level may receive specialized treatment (chelation therapy) to remove lead from their bodies. How...

Succimer is also considered to be a safe and effective chelating agent for the treatment of lead poisoning in humans (Smith et al., 1994, Goyer et al., 1995). It offers many advantages over calcium disodium EDTA chelation treatment, since it is administered orally and does not appear to ...
Lead poisoning cases in humans are mostly the result of oral ingestion and absorption via the gut [149]. Pb absorption from the gastrointestinal tract is subject to physical characteristics (such as age, pregnancy, fasting, and Fe and Ca status) and the physico-chemical nature of the material...
What Is Lead Poisoning? Lead is a metal that's found in nature. It exists all around us—in the air, soil, water, and even in our homes. If lead builds up in your body over months or years, you have what's called lead poisoning. ...
Humans neither need lead nor derive benefits from it. Although lead toxicity has been a global concern since the industrial revolution in the late 1800s, civilization has been unable to prevent or control it satisfactorily. Overall incidence of lead poisoning among American children has fallen from...
