Between the blood lead levels of 5 and 35 μg/dL, an IQ decrease of 2–4 points for each μg/dL increase is reported in children. [42] However, studies that show associations between low-level lead exposure and health effects in children may be affected by confounding and overestimate the effects of low-level lead exposure.

The Food and Drug Administration followed up with a warning against 17 ground cinnamon products found to contain high levels of lead.
Sources of lead exposure in pets can be the same as those that present health threats to humans sharing the environment, such as paint and blinds, and there is sometimes lead in toys made for pets. [2] Lead poisoning in a pet dog may indicate that children in the same household are at increased risk for elevated lead levels. [4]
High levels of lead at this age can produce impaired neurological development that results in lifelong problems. A 1996 study showed 43% of children ages 1–5 in the Superfund area had blood lead concentrations above the threshold considered dangerous by federal standards; more recent reports show this number to be lower.

The levels of lead found in the six cinnamon products were elevated from what regulators expect, but lower than those that have been found in other products. Lead was found at concentrations ...
The funding is for lead prevention and mitigation activities in eligible properties built before lead-based paint was outlawed in 1978. Gov. DeWine announces $84M in grants to protect Ohio ...
Blood lead level (BLL), is a measure of the amount of lead in the blood. [1] [2] Lead is a toxic heavy metal and can cause neurological damage, especially among children, at any detectable level. High lead levels cause decreased vitamin D and haemoglobin synthesis as well as anemia, acute central nervous system disorders, and possibly death. [3]
In addition to the dozen brands with levels above 1 ppm of lead, 18 brands of various cinnamons or spice blends contained levels of lead ranging from 0.87 ppm to 0.23 ppm, according to the report ...
