CDC Reports on Lead Exposure in Women of Childbearing Age

摘要

Adverse health effects in infants born to women with moderately elevated blood lead levels (i.e., 10 to 15 µg per dL [0.50 to 0.70 µmol per L]) include preterm birth, decreased gestational maturity, lower birth weight, reduced postnatal growth, increased incidence of minor congenital anomalies, and early neurologic or neurobehavioral deficits.
