Abstract

The long term effects of exposure to low doses of lead in childhood have been examined in 132 of 270 young adults who had initially been studied as primary school children in 1975-1978 and the results of an 11 year follow-up are reported from the School of Medicine, University of Pittsburgh; Boston University; and the Neuroepidemiology Unit, Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA.
