Health effects of lead poisoning on children. Lead has had serious consequences for the health of children. At high levels of exposure, lead attacks the brain and central nervous system to cause coma, convulsions and even death. Children who survive severe lead poisoning may be left with mental retardation and behavioural disruption. At lower levels of exposure that cause no obvious symptoms, and that previously were considered safe, lead is now known to produce a spectrum of injury across multiple body systems.
Lead poisoning in infancy may have made the monkeys' genes make more of the Alzheimer's-related proteins years later, according to the researchers, who included the University of Rhode Island's Nasser Zawia, PhD. Their findings appear in The Journal of Neuroscience.
