  • Title: Surveillance of children's blood lead levels--United States, 1991.
    Author: Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
    Journal: MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep; 1992 Aug 28; 41(34):620-2. PubMed ID: 1501605.
    Abstract:
    Lead poisoning is one of the most common environmental pediatric health problems in the United States (1): in 1984, an estimated three to four million children had blood lead levels (BLLs) sufficiently high to adversely affect intelligence, behavior, and development (2). Because little is known about efforts to monitor BLLs among U.S. children, in 1991, the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) and CDC conducted a survey to characterize reporting requirements and data-collection activities for BLLs among U.S. children during 1989. This report summarizes the findings from that survey.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
