Lead poisoning is a lesser-known threat that can have irreversible negative health impacts on children. Learning about ...

Medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (MCCPs) are already known to be toxic to aquatic life—now we're finding them in the air.

lead in the air. That's just about half of all children in low- and middle-income countries, according to UNICEF and the nonprofit Pure Earth. For decades, very little has been done about this.

Infant mortality tied to concentration of lead in air New study examined effect of exposure on infants' health Date: February 26, 2025 Source: Carnegie Mellon University Summary: In a new study ...

Monitoring an air quality site in Pico Rivera, Caltech researchers reported spikes in chlorine, lead and black carbon from the evening of Jan. 7 — the night the fire erupted — through Jan. 11.

We show causal evidence that higher air-lead concentration causes higher infant mortality. This is true both for the first month of life, right after infants are born, but also in the first year ...

Lead air pollution, researchers now suggest, was so pervasive during the height of the Roman Empire that it may have lowered ...

But an unknown enemy poisoned nearly everyone in the empire. Lead air pollution spiked during this time and resulted in elevated blood lead levels and cognitive decline, a new study shows (Proc.

Concentrations of lead in the air remain substantial in developed and developing countries, largely the result of industrial emissions. Even with the decline in lead in gasoline, developed ...
