Report: Childhood Lead Exposure Linked to Criminal Behavior in Adulthood
Exposure to lead early in childhood may increase the risk for criminal behavior later in life, according to research by the University of Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI — Exposure to lead early in childhood may increase the risk for criminal behavior later in life, according to research by the University of Cincinnati.
The study found a statistically significant correlation between elevated concentrations of lead in the blood during prenatal and postnatal stages of development and higher criminal arrest rates during adulthood.
“Aggressive or violent behavioral patterns often emerge early and continue throughout life,” says Kim Dietrich, Ph.D., study principal and professor of environmental health at the University of Cincinnati.
Researchers found that after age 18, individuals with increased blood-lead levels during prenatal stages and early childhood exhibited higher rates of arrest for violent crimes than the rest of the study population.
“Identifying the risk factors that may place youth on an early trajectory toward a life of crime and violence should be a public health priority,” Dietrich says.

Important News Concerning Our Environment
GUSAU, Nigeria (AP) — Doctors are struggling to save children stricken by lead poisoning — many of them blind, deaf and unable to walk — after poor herdsmen began illegally mining gold in an area of northern Nigeria with high concentrations of lead.
(April 14, 2010 - by Chris Arnold)
April 22 is D-Day for the home renovation industry.
It's the deadline for contractors to obtain certification that they're trained to work in homes that contain lead paint.
Lead was a standard ingredient in paint until 1978, when the government banned the sale of lead paint for use in residences because of the danger to children. Any home built before then is likely to have lead paint.
