Lead (Pb) is a confirmed neurotoxin. Clear adverse effects of blood Pb level (BLL) e" 10 ìg/dl have been documented in children, but questions remain about Pb-associated intellectual disorders at these BLL and whether lower exposures are associated with greater disorders.Keywords
Lead, Children, Intellectual Functions, Environmental Toxicity.
