QUESTION: Could you provide background evidence on the long term effects of lead in adults? - 06 Aug 2007 Victoria, Australia Elizabeth, I contacted you last week concerning lead levels in indoor firing ranges. I am contacting you in relation to some research I have been conducting. This research is currently at a personal level and if you can help me in any way, I would appreciate it if you could contact me on my home email address. The research I have conducted has some what dismayed me in that very little is dedicated to the long term effects of lead in adults. Or am I looking in the wrong places? Deep medical documentation is of no value as I am not a medical practitioner. I have some questions that I would like to ask. If you could provide background evidence, such evidence would be greatly appreciated. They are as follows:
I realise that there is a lot of subjective content in my questions, but my research has led me to many generic and non specific sites. I also am starting to find sites that contradict other sites. There is also a fair amount of people who will not confirm or deny long term effects with sit on the fence answers such as; "That has not been confirmed.", or "That information is not substantiated." Your help would be appreciated and I can assure you, I will never close split-shot sinkers on my fishing line ever again! Regards Peter Booth |

ANSWER: 09 Jun 2009 Dear Peter, First of all, we apologize deeply for the tremendous delay in response to your question. For a while now, we have had a lack of staff who answer the incoming email. Your research sounds quite interesting and it is true that most researches are on the long term effect of lead in children and that is probably because of the effect on the developing brain. I do not know if you had finished your research or not but, if you have, we would be very happy to publish it on our website, if you wish. On the other hand, if you have not finished yet and you still need our assistance, we would be happy to help. Just confirm that by email or call us on the phone and this time we will not disappoint you. Good luck Regards, Iman Hegazi MBBS, MD. Forensic Medicine and Toxicology Volunteer |
