Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have conducted epidemiological surveys on the reproductive and developmental effects of lead and other trace metals in Tehran, Dalian, Serpong and Tokyo. The survey in Tehran, we revealed that a relatively low level of prenatal lead exposure (mean < 6.5 micro-g/dL) associated with lower developmental scores in early childhood. The survey in Dalian revealed that newborn birth weight were affected by manganese concentration in mother whole blood and/or umbilical cord blood. The survey in Serpong revealed that lower socioeconomic status were associated with increased blood lead concentrations, especially in female children. The survey in Tokyo suggested that very low-level exposure to lead ( < 5.0 micro-g/dL) in early gestation could be a risk factor for reduced birth weight in male offspring. Lead, manganese and other metals may cause adverse reproductive and developmental effects at levels believed to be safe.
