An extensive database has provided a direct link between low-level lead exposure during early development and deficits in neurobehavioral-cognitive performance evident late in childhood through adolescence. These consistent studies have demonstrated the presence of a constellation of neurotoxic and other adverse effects of lead at blood lead (BPb) levels at least as low as 10 mu g/dl). Federal agencies and advisory groups have redefined childhood lead poisoning as a BPb, level of 10 mu g/dl. Before discussing some of these studies in greater detail, the pervasiveness of this entirely preventable disease today in millions of American children must be recognized.
