Reducing lead exposure in school water: Evidence from remediation efforts in New York City public schools

Scott Latham et al.

Summary: The study examines the level and distribution of lead in school drinking water in New York City, showing that although remediation efforts have reduced lead exposure, there are still persistent racial disparities. The results demonstrate the promise of such efforts in reducing lead levels in schools, while also highlighting the ongoing challenges in eradicating lead exposure and addressing racial disparities.

Cosmetic use and serum level of lead (not cadmium) affect bone mineral density among young Iranian women

Maryam GhaseminasabParizi et al.

Summary: Bone mineral density is an important index for skeletal health, and low bone density is a common issue among both men and women. This study found a negative association between cosmetic use and BMD z-scores in young female students. The cosmetics market, particularly in the Middle East, is vast, yet the health implications of cosmetic use on bone density are often overlooked.

Associations between Plasma Folate and Vitamin B12, Blood Lead, and Bone Mineral Density among Adults and Elderly Who Received a Health Examination

Ru-Lan Hsieh et al.

Summary: This study investigated the modifying effect of plasma folate and vitamin B-12 levels on the association between blood lead, cadmium, total urinary arsenic levels, and bone loss. The findings suggest that high blood lead and total urinary arsenic levels are positively correlated with bone loss, while plasma folate and vitamin B-12 levels alone do not show a direct correlation with bone loss. However, in individuals with low plasma folate and vitamin B-12 levels, high blood lead concentrations may increase the risk of bone loss.

The Association between Lead Exposure and Bone Mineral Density in Childhood and Adolescence: Results from NHANES 1999-2006 and 2011-2018

Tao Li et al.

Summary: This study examined the association between lead exposure and bone mineral density (BMD) in children and adolescents. The results showed that lead exposure had different effects on BMD in different bony sites, with an N-shaped curve association for total BMD, subtotal BMD, and limb BMD in males and females, and a significantly negative association for lumbar spine BMD in females.

Associations of multiple metals with bone mineral density: A population-based study in US adults

Mu-Hong Wei et al.

Summary: This study examined the associations of multiple metals exposure with bone mineral density (BMD) and found that lead (Pb), manganese (Mn), and selenium (Se) were the main contributors driving the overall effects on BMD. Co-exposure to cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), selenium (Se), and zinc (Zn) above their 50th percentiles was associated with reduced BMD.

Blood lead and cadmium levels are negatively associated with bone mineral density in young female adults

Jianfeng Lu et al.

Summary: This study found that both blood lead levels (BLL) and blood cadmium levels (BCL) were independently and negatively associated with lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) among young females, but not among young males.
