What lead does to your health

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Symptoms and health effects

Diagram: how lead affects health
Lead is a neurotoxic heavy metal that may accumulate in our bodies and has no biological value. In the last three decades, international medical research has found evidence in population studies, that lead may have health impacts at levels previously considered safe.

In June 1993, the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) set a blood lead goal of less than 10 ug/dl (0.48 um/L) for all Australians by the end of 1998. The NHMRC stressed the urgency of reaching this level in children aged 1 to 4 years because of the adverse effects on intellectual development. The attached table summarises these recommendations.

Lead is toxic because when ingested or inhaled and absorbed, it can harm virtually every system in the human body, especially the brain, kidney and reproductive systems of both males and females. Whether that damage is temporary or permanent remains a source of scientific debate. Lead harms so many body systems because it disrupts enzyme systems mediated by other metals important to the body - iron, calcium and zinc.

Children
While the NHMRC has established a goal of 10 ug/dl for all Australians by 1998, most children with blood lead levels below 2.17 µm/L (45 ug/dl) may show no signs of elevated blood lead levels or illness.

Some medical research on large groups of children have found adverse effects in children with blood lead levels of approximately 0.48 µm/L (10 ug/dl) include:

Impairment of the central nervous system and other organ development in foetuses
Reduced mental abilities and initiation of various behavioural disorders in infants and children
Impairment of calcium function and balance in target organ systems of infants and children
Adverse effects noted in these population studies of children with blood lead levels less than 1.2 µm/L (25 µg/dL) include:

Lowered IQ and abnormal cognitive development and behaviour in pre-school as well as school children
Neurological deficits associated with exposure to lead in early childhood, which may persist into late adolescence
Elevation of hearing thresholds at 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz.
Decreased gestation time, lower birth weight, and abnormal early cognitive development in foetal exposure.
Children and adults with blood lead levels below <2.17 µm/L (45 ug/dL) are unlikely to show signs of illness. When symptoms do appear at higher levels, they may be non-specific symptoms like tiredness, abdominal pain or constipation, headache, irritability and aggressiveness and paralysis.

In children under 48 months, normal exploratory behaviour and hand-to-mouth activities in lead contaminated environments may result in the repeated ingestion and inhalation of lead from household dust, paint and soil. Deficiencies of iron, zinc or calcium or high fat diets can increase absorption of lead if exposed. This lead can accumulate over months and years in the bodies of children. Therefore, repeated exposures to small doses of lead can result in a large long term accumulation in a child, increasing the likelihood that child may experience adverse health effects.

Lead damage to the brain and nervous system associated with excessive lead exposures in early childhood may persist into late adolescence. Studies of groups of children exposed to chronic high lead levels in early childhood found children have increased chances of poor performance at school including: reading disabilities; problems with attention and fine motor skills; lower class standing; increased absenteeism; and lower vocabulary and grammatical-reading scores. These children have also been found to be more likely to develop anti-social behaviours, be more aggressive, more destructive and less likely to graduate from high school. It must be stressed however, that lead is only one of a number of causes for learning difficulties, behavioural problems, and attention deficits in children and is widely considered a less important source than other factors

Landmark studies on groups of children in the US found that behavioural and performance problems in primary school children (including distractibility, impulsivity, disorganisation, non-persistence, inability to follow simple instructions and overall poor functioning) were more prevalent in children with increasing dentine (teeth) lead levels in baby teeth. Groups of children with moderate lead levels (>20 ppm in dentine lead) in pre-school years, who were followed to adolescence, were seven times more likely to drop out of high school. Their odds of a significant reading disability were six times higher than for children exposed to lower lead levels. Children exposed to higher lead levels were also shown to have problems with attention and fine motor skills, lower class standing, increased absenteeism, and lower vocabulary and grammatical-reading scores, even after the investigators controlled for other variables. [Needleman, Herbert L; Gatsonis, Constantine, JAMA Vol 263 No 05, A Low - Level Lead Exposure and the IQ of Children - A Meta - analysis of Modern Studies, February 1990]

:nice: :clap: for me coz I don't use lipstick! :wink:

ahhhh ganun ba

ganun nga! kaya wag ka na gagamit ng lipsticks nirvana ha!:punish:

:welcome: concern lang ako sa mga ka :csa: ko na girls...

Lead in Your Lipstick? (http://www.fitsugar.com/702063)

In case you haven't heard yet, your lipstick could contain high levels of lead. Why is lead so bad, you might ask? Small amounts of daily lead exposure can add up, and no amount or lead, no matter how small, is considered safe. Lead can affect your nervous system, increase your blood pressure, and can cause anemia. It can also cause damage to the kidneys and the brain. Pregnant women may suffer a miscarriage from lead exposure, and men may experience damage to their sexual organs.

The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics wanted to test lipsticks for lead levels, since small amounts get ingested when you wear them. They collected 33 brand-name lipsticks (http://www.ens-newswire.com/ens/oct2007/2007-10-15-04.asp) from four random cities including Boston, Hartford (Connecticut), San Francisco and Minneapolis. So what did they discover? To find out read more
Twenty out of the 33 lipsticks contained detectable amounts of lead (http://www.safecosmetics.org/newsroom/press.cfm?pressReleaseID=26), ranging from 0.03 to 0.65 parts per million (ppm). Eleven of the lipsticks tested exceeded the 0.1 ppm amount established by the FDA. Here are the lipsticks to watch out for:

L'Oreal Colour Riche "True Red" - 0.65 ppm
L'Oreal Colour Riche "Classic Wine" - 0.58 ppm
Cover Girl Incredifull Lipcolor "Maximum Red" - 0.56 ppm
Dior Addict "Positive Red" - 0.21 ppm

My good friend Bella told me that the FDA doesn't approve or review cosmetics, only the contents that go into them. Lead isn't intentionally added, it's a byproduct of the manufacturing process.

Fit's Tips: Don't throw your arms up in a panic though. It's possible to find lipsticks that don't contain lead. Look for brands that clearly state they are lead-free such as Josie Maran Cosmetics.
