Juvenile Delinquency Associated With Lead Exposure – (07-03-00)



Juvenile Delinquency Associated With Lead Exposure

Heavy metals are still a big concern with overall health, and checking for heavy metals is probably one of the least invasive test your doctor can perform.

About 15.6% of the juvenile delinquency observed among youth can be attributed to lead exposure, according to Dr. Herbert L. Needleman from the University of Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania at the combined annual meeting of the Pediatric Academic Societies and the American Academy of Pediatrics. In a separate presentation at the same meeting, Dr. Bruce P. Lanphear of the Children’s Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, Ohio, reported that lead levels in children’s blood as low as 2.5 mcg/dL–far below the level of 10 mcg/dL considered acceptable by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention–were associated with lower scores in tests of reading and mathematics.
