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 is diagnosed with a blood test, which should be done for individuals considered at risk of lead exposure. Although a safe lead level has not been identified, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines elevated blood lead in children as 3.5 micrograms per decilit...
Molecular genetic susceptibility to lead poisoning 来自 NCBI 喜欢 0 阅读量: 20 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 ...
The toxic effects of lead poisoning in humans as well as many other mammalian and aquatic species have long since been determined along with many potential environmental avenues of exposure. Children are considered a special risk group due to the irreversible negative effects that lead has on the ...
Lead poisoning is the most significant and prevalent disease of environmental origin among US children. Despite over 100 years' knowledge of the special hazards of lead exposure for young children, it has taken over a century for effective primary prevention to be adopted. Obstacles to primary prev...
We report a case of acute lead poisoning in an adult female who had last been exposed to lead 7 years ago. She presented with abdominal pain, knee
Lead is toxic to humans, particularly children, and there is no safe level of exposure, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says. Initial symptoms of lead poisoning may include headaches, stomach and muscle aches, vomiting, anemia, irritability, fatigue and weight loss. ...
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...
Details of a thallium poisoning case revealed by single hair analysis using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Heavy metals pose significant morbidity and mortality threats to humans in connection with both acute and chronic exposure. The often-delayed manifestation... Richard,Da...
Lead has been one of the main causes of poisoning in man since ancient times due to its use in many activities although it is only recently that this toxicity has been recognized. Moreover, the use of lead pellets for shooting has resulted in the release into the environment of millions ...
