Effects of lead exposure and co-exposure with other heavy metals on children's neurodevelopment
-
Abstract
Children are more susceptible to environmental pollutants than adults because of their special physiological structure and behavior. Moreover, children are particularly vulnerable to neurotoxic effects of heavy metals due to their developing nervous system. Studies reported that lead has negative impacts on neurodevelopment, and there are potential interactions between exposures to lead and other metals. This paper reviewed relevant studies in recent years about prenatal and postnatal lead exposure and co-exposure with other heavy metals and provided future research directions.
