Leaning against the window, gazing into the distance, the brilliant colors of life, with the continuous progress of the times, health has become the theme of the new era. Children's healthy growth is a new hope in life. The healthy development of the body cannot be separated from the absorption of nutrients, and at the same time, it needs to be maintained within a reasonable normal range. So, is it normal for children to have a lead content of 12?
Under normal circumstances, a child's blood lead level of 0-40 is considered normal. Baby, this value is normal, don't worry, and have regular check ups. Therefore, a lead content of 12 in children is normal. The best indicator reflecting children's lead exposure within 1-3 months is whole blood lead content, abbreviated as blood lead. Blood lead is easy to measure and has a good correlation with other indicators. There is a standard method that has been adopted by various hospitals, which can better reflect the lead load status in children's bodies.
Lead is a heavy metal element that seriously endangers human health. It can affect various organs such as the nervous, hematopoietic, digestive, urinary, reproductive and developmental, cardiovascular, endocrine, immune, and skeletal systems, with the main target organs being the nervous and hematopoietic systems. More seriously, it affects the growth and intellectual development of infants and young children, damages cognitive function, neurobehavior, learning and memory, and in severe cases, causes dementia. Especially for children, the academic community has confirmed that as long as the blood lead level exceeds or equals 100 micrograms/liter, regardless of whether there are clinical symptoms or signs, it can be diagnosed as childhood lead poisoning.
The intellectual impairment caused by lead is irreversible. After undergoing lead removal treatment, blood lead levels decreased, but there was no significant recovery in intellectual impairment. Lead poisoning has the most serious harm to the nervous system, which can lead to restlessness, impulsivity, abdominal pain, decreased appetite, lack of concentration, personality changes, delayed reactions, decreased intelligence, and memory in children. Severe cases may develop lead poisoning encephalopathy and even death.
Children with blood lead levels below 250 μ g/L generally do not need to excrete lead. If they abuse drugs or health products, it is harmful but not beneficial. Most lead eliminating health products promote both lead excretion and lead absorption in the digestive tract. Do not abuse various lead driving drugs or health products that have not undergone strict testing and related experiments.
Having good health can indeed make life better. During the process of growing up, children should be given more care by their families. For diet, it is recommended not to eat too much junk food, as it is not very helpful for the healthy growth of children. It should be eating more fresh fruits and vegetables to help supplement vitamins. Take your children out for outdoor activities and experience the beauty of nature.
