Book Synopsis Using Geographic Information Systems to Assess Risk for Elevated Blood Lead Levels in Children in Kalamazoo County, Michigan by : Amatun Noor
Download or read book Using Geographic Information Systems to Assess Risk for Elevated Blood Lead Levels in Children in Kalamazoo County, Michigan written by Amatun Noor and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lead-based paint is the major source of childhood lead poisoning for children under six in the United States and was commonly used in pre-1950 homes. The main objective of this study for Kalamazoo County, Michigan is to identify risk homes to for public health workers, and determine common socioeconomic factors from the US Census that can be used to identify relative risk across census tracks. A Geographical Information System (GIS) is applied to locate the risk homes of 485 children provided at the aggregate level by the Michigan Department of Community Health. Independent variables were derived from the U.S. 2000 Census. A location quotient shows that the highest risk zone is mainly located within city limits. A multiple regression model at the census track level verifies that old housing is the primary risk factors and that the children of African Americans and Hispanics estimated at the census track level are more often exposed to this hazard than children of other ethnic groups in Kalamazoo County.

Book Synopsis Measuring Lead Exposure in Infants, Children, and Other Sensitive Populations by : National Research Council
Download or read book Measuring Lead Exposure in Infants, Children, and Other Sensitive Populations written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1993-02-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lead is a ubiquitous toxic agent that is especially damaging to the young child and the developing fetus. Unlike many environmental health risks, the risks associated with lead are no longer theoretical but have been observed for many years. Indeed, the first regulation of lead in paint was enacted in the 1920s. Currently, because of growing evidence of lead toxicity at lower concentrations, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently lowered its lead-exposure guideline to 10 ug/dl lead in blood from 25 ug/dl. Measuring Lead Exposure in Infants, Children, and Other Sensitive Populations addresses the public health concern about the logistics and feasibility of lead screening in infants and children at such low concentrations. This book will serve as the basis for all U.S. Public Health Service activities and for all state and local programs in monitoring lead.

Download or read book Lead Poisoning written by Joseph J. Breen and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-08-13 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lead Poisoning discusses one of the most critical and preventable environmentally induced illnesses. The actual toll lead poisoning takes on society cannot be measured fully due to the "silent" nature of health effects, such as subtle intellectual deficits and neurological damage, caused by chronic low-level exposures. This book covers every major topic on the subject, including lead poisoning in children, sources of contamination, state-of-the-art sampling and analytical measurement methods, the newest studies on low-cost abatement methods, and much more. This reference is the most comprehensive presentation of issues currently available under one cover. The text is divided into three major parts. Part I provides insights from studies assessing lead exposures from paint, dust, soil, and lead battery recycling operations. The second part is a unique collection of strategic federal policy statements from the U.S. EPA, HUD, and HEW-CDC. It details the National Implementation Plan as well as a local government's efforts to provide low-cost effective risk communication and public outreach to the community. The next part offers seven chapters on analytical issues in the measurement of lead in blood, paint, dust, and soils. Part IV, Sampling Methods and Statistical Issues, rounds out the technical portion of the volume. The relationships among lead levels in biological and environmental media are investigated and the interpretive problems discussed. The use of multi-element analysis of environmental samples as an approach to investigate sources is described. The book finishes with its most unique feature-OPPT's Check Our Kids for Lead Program, one organization's effort to empower its employees to make a personal difference in confronting the problem of lead poisoning in children. The Program serves as a model for other government organizations (federal, state, and local), university and community organizations, and corporations to educate them and take personal and corporate responsibility for addressing this important and environmental health problem.

Book Synopsis Lead Exposure and Child Development by : M. Smith
Download or read book Lead Exposure and Child Development written by M. Smith and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book arises out of a workshop on lead exposure and child development which was held at the University of Edinburgh on 8th-12th September 1986. It was organized jointly by the Commission of the European Communities (CEC) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in association with the UK Department of the Environment and the Scottish Home and Health Department. It brought together most of the internationally recognized groups working on the effects of lead exposure on child development including child psychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, epidemiologists, toxicologists, stati sticians, and medical practitioners. One of the unique features of the meeting was that it included workers from initially separate fields of lead research, in particular those undertaking studies in infants and in older children, and those carrying out behavioural research in animals, as well as those undertaking biochemical studies on mechanisms of lead effect. The structure of this book reflects the main elements of the meeting. As such it includes three main sections. The first consists of two major state-of the-art reviews, and two invited introductory papers. The reviews were prepared for the organizers of the conference by two of the Editors. The objectives were to assess critically the state of current knowledge in this field and to provide a scientific basis both for policy decisions and for further research. The review prepared by Marjorie Smith for the Commission of the European Communities focusses on methodological and design issues, and summarizes our present scientific knowledge in this area.
Book Synopsis A Spatial Inquiry Into Childhood Lead Poisoning in Shelby County, Tennessee by : Cem Akkus
Download or read book A Spatial Inquiry Into Childhood Lead Poisoning in Shelby County, Tennessee written by Cem Akkus and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Review of the recent literature suggests that integration of geographical information systems (GIS) into childhood lead exposure studies significantly enhances identifying lead hazards in the environment and determining at risk children. The purpose of this study is to find at-risk areas of childhood lead poisoning as well as determining risk factors in Shelby County, Tennessee. The two common deduplication methods: the first blood lead level (BLL) test result and the highest BLL test result were compared. Kappa statistic was used to investigate the effect of residential mobility on hot spots. Global and local spatial autocorrelations, Moran & rsquo;s I and Getis and Ord & rsquo;s Gi, were used to test the existence of global spatial autocorrelation as well as to find local pockets of high BLLs, and their trends. BLLs were grouped into four time periods during the 20 years between 1994 and 2013. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) were used to model risk factors. Kappa agreement results indicated that residential mobility had an approximate effect of 10% agreement change for multiple-screened children. Spatial autocorrelation statistics indicate that there is a strong global spatial autocorrelation within the BLL dataset. Local statistics showed that local clusters of high BLLs are concentrated in the western part of the county in the first period: 1994-1998 and moved to a more disperse pattern towards the east and south. The global and local statistical models showed that there is a significant relationship between the percent of children with elevated blood lead levels (EBLLs) and the percent of screening, median construction year, old housing, median income, monthly rent, African American population, education attainment, public assistance, poverty, and median income. Population density and vacancy were not found to be associated with the percent of children with EBLLs.
