ABSTRACT
Lead levels were measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry in umbilical cord blood samples of 205 consecutively born neonates and venous blood in 62 of the mothers. The mean (± SD) cord blood lead level was 4.7 ± 12.1 µg/dL. In the sub sample of 62 mother-baby pairs, the mean (± SD) cord blood lead levels were 1.6 ± 2.5 µg/dL and 2.0 ± 2.1 µg/dL, respectively. According to CDC risk categories, 92% babies were in Class I of which 87% had lead levels below 5 µg/dL. The mean (± SD) birthweight in <5 µg/dL category was 2640 ± 445 grams as compared to 2617 ± 408 grams in >5 µg/dL category. The mean (± SD) gestational ages were 39.1 ± 2.0 weeks and 38.1±2.0 weeks, respectively in the two groups (P=0.014). On multivariate linear analysis, lower gestational age significantly correlated with higher cord blood lead level.
