    Pollution causes chronic illness, neurological damage and shortened lifespan. For instance, the presence of lead in children lowers I.Q. by an estimated 4-7 points for each increase of 10 μg/dL.3 Our database identifies populations around the globe with blood lead levels ranging from 50 -100 μg/dL, up to 10 times the WHO reference levels for protection against neurological damage.…

    SCI207 final lab paper

    Working in the environmental field one contaminant I come across frequently is Lead. It is found frequently in older homes. It has been found in paint, canned goods and in our water supply. Research has shown that lead poisoning can lead into developmental issues, negatively harm the reproduction system and can ultimately lead cancer. Lead from environmental pollution is not carcinogenic, but even low dose lead exposure has been shown to have detrimental and long-lasting effects on the renal, hemopoietic and nervous system (Fertmann et al., 2004). And while more is being done the United States is far from coming up with a homogenous solution. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA, 2011a), as directed by the Safe…

    Peer Review Article Versus Popular Press Article on Lead Poisening

    Lead poisoning has been a concern for many years. In fact, because of the affects of lead poisoning, there has been an extensive decline in its use. "Many people believe lead poisoning is no longer a threat, yet millions of homes contain lead based paint" (Heck, J., 2005, para. 1). Exposure to lead at any level is unhealthy, especially in infants, children, and pregnant women and continues to be an ongoing dilemma in this country. I read two articles concerning lead poisoning; the first article is from FineTuning, a popular press and the second article is from Pediatrics, a peer-review journal. In this paper, I will clearly summarize each article by comparing the content of both articles. In addition, I will summarize the attention to details communicated in each article. Next, I will discuss the reasons for the research, who conducted the research, the methods used during the research, and the conclusions reached based upon the research. Finally, in this paper, I will discuss what I learned about peer-review journal articles versus popular press articles.…

    Human Resources Task 2

    Since we are dealing with children, we need to understand that they are at a higher risk than adults. Remember the saying “curiosity killed the cat?” (Martin, 2012) Cats are curious animals that like to investigate, but their curiosity can take them to places where they might get hurt. Children, like cats, are curious and like to products in their own dangerous ways. Children tend to be curious by touching items, putting them in their mouth, and sharing them with friends and family. This causes the levels of lead to rise along with the risk of lead poisoning. (Agency, 2012)…

    2. Lead is toxic, but do you know why? Lead is toxic mainly because it preferentially replaces other metals in biochemical reactions. In so doing it interferes with the proteins that regulate blood pressure (which can cause development delays in children and high blood pressure in adults), heme production (which can lead to anemia), and sperm production. Lead also displaces calcium in the reactions that transmit electrical impulses in the brain, which diminishes the ability to think and recall information.
