Why Lead? Health
Same size, Shape, chemistry Different Orbitals, Different total Number of electrons
Current measurements no longer rely on zinc protoporphyrin as PbB effects on fetal development can be detected at values of PbB <5 ug/dL
An estimated 40% of lead in blood plasma bound to ALAD Wetmur, 1994 ALAD dehydratase with lead binding site
Enhanced ALA concentration leads to tautomers which easily form radicals which may attack the cell wall - leading to early cell death. Heme dies about 20% earlier Hammond and Dietrich, 1990
Because lead affected ALAD resulting in overproduction of ALA ALA may also affect the function of GABA but a close similarity in molecular structure GABA controls leaf tip growth, and brain development. Function changes with time, so growing tips and infants differentially affected from adults
Herlenius and Lagercrantz, 2001 Ben-Ari1, 2001 Certain portions of the brain more greatly affected: prefrontal cortex: problem solving hippocampus (memory) cerebellum (motor coordination, body movement, posture and balance)
Why Lead? Everywhere
Lead as an ore in the earth relatively benign Human activity distributes lead into the environment
Modern major uses 1. Pigments 2. Leaded Gasoline 3. Munitions
