2021, Environmental ResearchCitation Excerpt :In these recreational cases, 48% had BLL ≥25 μg/dL25. Additional government reports echo the dangers of FLP, especially concerning women due to the capacity for lead to store in bones and subsequently impact fetal development during the increased bone turnover of pregnancy and breastfeeding (Laidlaw et al., 2017; Gulson et al., 1998; Manton et al., 2003; Latorre et al., 2002; Low Level Lead Exposure H, 2012; Nie et al., 2009; Riedt et al., 2009). Unfortunately, most studies focus on firing range attendees despite the risks to pediatric populations through tracking (Indoor Firing Ranges and, 2014a).

2020, Journal of Archaeological ScienceEffects of early and recent mercury and lead exposure on the neurodevelopment of children with elevated mercury and/or developmental delays during lactation: A follow-up study
2020, International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental HealthCitation Excerpt :In our study, approximately 88% of the mothers had blood-lead levels higher than 1.2 μg/L (GM = 2.736 μg/dL). We found the lead milk-to-blood ratio (GM = 1.72) was substantially higher than previously reported as being ≤1 (Counter et al., 2014; Koyashiki et al., 2010), reflecting a high transfer of lead from blood and maternal stores to milk during lactation (Gulson et al., 1998b; Tellez-Rojo et al., 2002). All our children had a daily lead intake during lactation above 0.5 μg/kg BW, with a geometric mean of 4.816 μg/kg and a range of 2.29–16.38 μg/kg.
