Çocuk Sağlığı ve Kurşun

Abstract

Kurşun toksisitesi önlenebilir bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Çocuklarda kurşunla temasın neden olduğu rahatsızlıklar genellikle bulgu vermeyen kurşun toksisitesi şeklindedir. Erken tanı kan kurşun düzeyi taramaları ile konabilir. Çocuklarda toksik kabul edilen kan kurşun düzeyi yıllar içinde giderek azalmıştır. 1991' den başlayarak da nörolojik ve zihinsel işlevleri bozduğu saptanan düzey olan 10mg/dl toksik olarak kabul edilmiştir ancak son zamanlarda 10mg/dl' nin altındaki kan değerlerinde bile zeka puanlarında düşüklük ve nöropsikolojik işlevlerde bozukluk olduğu saptandığından eşik değerin 10mg/dl' nin altına çekilmesi önerilmektedir.

CHILD HEALTH AND LEAD

Abstract

Lead toxicity is a preventable public health problem. In children, the disorders caused by lead exposure are usually asymptomatic. Early diagnosis can be made by blood lead level screening. The level which is accepted as toxic is decreased in years. In 1991 10mg/dl was considered as the level which negatively affects neurological and cognitive functions, but recently even the levels below 10mg/dl were shown to decrease IQ scores and affect neuropsychological functions, therefore it is recommended that the threshold value should be below 10mg/dl
