[Neurocomportmental disorders in an urban population exposed to lead].

Abstract

A study was performed in 278 people living in a Mexican town with a high lead environmental pollution. Lead blood level was found very high (m:59.7 micrograms/l) and some abnormalities were also found for free erythrocyte Protoporphyrin and ALA dehydratase. A significant dose-response relationship was also found with somatic complaints like loss of appetite, insomnia and headache.
