Associations of blood lead levels with asthma and blood eosinophils in U.S. children
2020
U.S. children are exposed to lead through lead-based paint, lead-contaminated dust in older homes and through contaminated water, air, soil, or consumer and imported products(1,2) . Approximately 24 million housing units have one or more lead-based paint hazards, including 3.6 million homes with children aged =6 years(1) . Epidemiologic studies have reported positive associations between lead and elevated immunoglobulin E (IgE) in children(3-5) ; IgE is often associated with allergic asthma(6) .
