Kurşun ve çocuk sağlığı

Kurşun, gelişmekte olan ülkelerde kentleşme ve sanayileşmenin hızla artması, bunun yanı sıra gerekli önlemlerin aynı hızda alınmaması sonucu, halk sağlığını tehdit eden toksik bir maddedir. Çocuklar kronik kurşun zehirlenmesine erişkinlerden daha duyarlıdır ve çok daha düşük kan konsantrasyonlarında mental ve bedensel yönden olumsuz etkilenme göstermektedirler. Ülkemizde çocuklarda, kan kurşun düzeylerini belirlemeye yönelik yapılan az sayıda çalışma vardır.

Lead and child health

Lead is a health threatening toxic substance related to the increase of urbanization and industrialization without adequate preventive measures in developing countries. Children are more sensitive than adults to chronic lead poisoning. Even low blood concentrations may cause negative effects on children's mental and physical development. There is a limited number of studies performed to detect blood lead levels in children in our country.
