Al-Jawadi AA et al. - The maternal geometric mean of blood lead concentration is significantly higher than that of the umbilical cord with a significant positive correlation between the two values. The present study revealed that high maternal blood lead value is significantly associated with the development of hypertension during pregnancy and giving a low birth weight baby, with a small head circumference. Study results have provided information needed to be transferred to decision makers to implement measures to effectively eliminate lead from the environment and to protecting future generations from its deleterious effects.
