TLDR
The results reveal that the Consumption of alcohol could play an important part in the variation of lead and cadmium levels in the blood; the consumption of alcohol is associated with an increase in Pb-B but a decrease in Cd-B.About:

Maternal risk factors in fetal alcohol syndrome: Provocative and permissive influences
Ernest L. Abel,John H. Hannigan +1 more
TL;DR: An integrative heuristic model is proposed hypothesizing that specific sociobehavioral risk factors increase the likelihood of FAS/ARBDs because they potentiate two related mechanisms of alcohol-induced teratogenesis, specifically, maternal/fetal hypoxia and free radical formation.

Toxic and trace elements in tobacco and tobacco smoke.
M. Chiba,R. Masironi +1 more
TL;DR: The known effects of some trace elements and other biochemically important elements (Al, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Mn, Hg, Ni, Po-210, Se, and Zn) which are linked with smoking are summarized.

Lead, Mercury, and Organochlorine Compound Levels in Cord Blood in Québec, Canada
TL;DR: The cord blood concentrations of lead, mercury, polychlorinated biphenyls, and dichlorodiphenyl dichloroethylene the authors measured in this study were the lowest levels recently reported in industrialized countries.

Cadmium concentrations in blood and seminal plasma: correlations with sperm number and motility in three male populations (infertility patients, artificial insemination donors, and unselected volunteers).
Susan Benoff,Susan Benoff,Susan Benoff,Russ Hauser,Joel L. Marmar,Ian R. Hurley,Barbara Napolitano,Grace M. Centola +7 more
TL;DR: Human and rat study results are consistent with the hypothesis that environmental cadmium exposures may contribute significantly to reduced human male sperm concentration and sperm motility and validate the human findings in an animal model.

Association between maternal blood cadmium during pregnancy and birth weight and the risk of fetal growth restriction: The EDEN mother–child cohort study
Mehdi Menai,Barbara Heude,Rémy Slama,Anne Forhan,Josiane Sahuquillo,Marie-Aline Charles,Chadi Yazbeck +6 more
TL;DR: The close relationship between blood Cd levels and smoking habits indicates that Cd may be a relevant biomarker for smoking toxicity on fetal development and highlights the effect of Cd toxicity on prenatal growth through the probable accumulation and transmission of this metal through the placenta.

National estimates of blood lead levels: United States, 1976-1980: association with selected demographic and socioeconomic factors.
TL;DR: Mean levels of blood lead were higher in blacks than white among children and adults, among young children living in urban and rural areas, and among members of low-income, moderate- income, and higher-income families.

Chronological trend in blood lead levels between 1976 and 1980.
TL;DR: Analysis of a chronological trend in data from the second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey indicated that average blood lead levels in the United States dropped approximately 37 per cent from February 1976 through February 1980.

Assessment of exposure to lead and cadmium through biological monitoring:results of a UNEP/WHO global study
Lars Friberg,Marie Vahter +1 more
TL;DR: A UNEP/WHO project on the assessment of human exposure to lead and cadmium through analysis of blood and kidneys, with considerable variation in metal exposure between areas, found that males had higher blood levels than females and smokers higher than nonsmokers.

Effects of alcohol and smoking on blood lead in middle-aged British men.
TL;DR: A survey of middle-aged men in 24 British towns showed a strong association between blood lead concentrations, alcohol consumption, and cigarette smoking and possible mechanisms include a decreased excretion of lead due to alcohol-induced hepatic dysfunction and an increased lead intake from cigarette smoking.

Lead and cadmium levels in blood samples from the general population of Sweden
TL;DR: Blood lead concentrations were shown to be significantly influenced by sex, smoking habits, and alcohol consumption, and highly significant correlations were found between stated alcohol consumption and blood lead in most of the different sex and smoking categories.
