Lead poisoning in waterfowl due to ingestion of lead pellets is a long recognized worldwide problem but poorly studied in South America, particularly in Argentinean wetlands where duck hunting with lead gunshot is extensive. ...

Higher blood lead (BPb) levels have been reported in children living in communities that receive fluoride-treated water. Here, we examined whether fluoride co-administered with lead increases BPb and lead concentrations ...

In the present paper, the acute effect of third ventricle injections of lead acetate (5, 10, 100, 1000 ng/rat) on the drinking behavior of adult, male, Wistar rats was investigated. Lead generates a prompt and significant ...

Human health and environmental concerns are not usually considered at the same time. Tin-lead solders are still widely used in several countries, including Brazil, by manufacturers of electronic assemblies. One of the ...
