TL;DR: Lead exposure differences in Kabwe were attributed to distance and direction from the mine, with younger children at highest risk and exposure levels in parents were equally alarming.

TL;DR: Investigation of the potential effects of different land use and other environment factors on animals living in a contaminated environment in Kabwe, Zambia found that land use categories of habitats and three other factors significantly affected lead concentrations in the lizards.

TL;DR: A significant association of metal levels with clinical parameters indicated the effects of metal exposure on hematopoietic, hepatic, and renal systems and the potential adverse health effects of Cd and/or the interaction of Pb and Cd.

TL;DR: LeadCare® analysis is thought to be a good tool for screening purposes at a lower BLL around the reference level of 5 μg/dL in the initial stage; however, conversion or retesting using a laboratory analyzer is recommended at a higher BLL for appropriate clinical evaluation and research.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the applicability of the rat incisor in Pb exposure screening using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).
