   This fact sheet answers the most frequently asked health
questions
   about lead. For more information, you may call 404-639-6000.
This
   fact sheet is one in a series of summaries about hazardous
substances
   and their health effects. This information is important
because this
   substance may harm you. The effects of exposure to any
hazardous

-- press pace for next page --2substance depend on the dose, the
duration, how you are exposed,
   personal traits and habits, and whether other chemicals are
present.
    
_________________________________________________________________

   SUMMARY: Exposure to lead happens mostly from breathing
workplace air
   or dust, and eating contaminated foods. Children can be
exposed from
   eating lead-based paint chips, or playing in contaminated
soil. Lead
   can damage the nervous system, kidneys, and the immune
systems. Lead
   has been found in at least 922 of 1,300 National Priorities
List sites
   identified by the Environmental Protection Agency.
    
_________________________________________________________________
     
   What is lead?
   
   (Pronounced led)
   
   Lead is a naturally occurring bluish-gray metal found in small
amounts
   in the earth's crust. It has no special taste or smell. Lead
can be
3found in all parts of our environment. Most of it came from
human
   activities like mining, manufacturing, and the burning of
fossil
   fuels.

   Lead has many different uses, most importantly in the
production of
   batteries. Lead is also in ammunition, metal products (solder
and
   pipes), roofing, and devices to shield x-rays.
   
   Because of health concerns, lead from gasoline, paints and
ceramic  
   products, caulking, and pipe solder has been dramatically
reduced in
   recent years.
   
   What happens to lead when it enters the environment?

     * Lead itself does not break down, but lead compounds are
changed bysunlight, air, and water.
     * When released to the air from industry or burning of
fossil fuelsor waste, it stays in air about 10 days.
     * Most of the lead in soil comes from particles falling out
of the  
       air.
4  * City soils also contain lead from landfills and leaded
paint.
     * Lead sticks to soil particles.
     * It does not move from soil to underground water or
drinking waterunless the water is acidic or "soft".
     * It stays a long time in both soil and water.
   
   How might I be exposed to lead? 

     * Breathing workplace air (lead smelting, refining, and
       manufacturing industries)
     * Eating lead-based paint chips
     * Drinking water that comes from lead pipes or lead soldered
       fittings 
     * Breathing or ingesting contaminated soil, dust, air, or
water near
       waste sites 
     * Breathing tobacco smoke  Eating contaminated food grown on
soil containing lead or food   covered with lead-containing
dustBreathing fumes or ingesting lead from hobbies that use lead
(leaded-glass, ceramics)
5
   How can lead affect my health?
     
   Lead can affect almost every organ and system in your body.
The most
   sensitive is the central nervous system, particularly in
children.
   Lead also damages kidneys and the immune system. The effects
are the
   same whether it is breathed or swallowed.

   Exposure to lead is more dangerous for young and unborn
children.
   Unborn children can be exposed to lead through their mothers.
Harmful
   effects include premature births, smaller babies, decreased
mental
   ability in the infant, learning difficulties, and reduced
growth in
   young children. These effects are more common after exposure
to high
   levels of lead.
   In adults, lead may decrease reaction time, cause weakness in
fingers,
   wrists, or ankles, and possibly affect the memory. Lead may
cause 
   anemia, a disorder of the blood. It can cause abortion and
damage the
   male reproductive system. The connection between these effects
and
   exposure to low levels of lead is uncertain.
6likely is lead to cause cancer?

   The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has
determined that
   lead acetate and lead phosphate may reasonably be anticipated
to be
   carcinogens based on studies in animals. There is inadequate
evidence
   to clearly determine lead's carcinogenicity in humans.

   Is there a medical test to show whether I've been exposed to
lead?
   
   A blood test is available to measure the amount of lead in
your blood
   and to estimate the amount of your exposure to lead. Blood
tests are
   commonly used to screen children for potential chronic lead
poisoning.
   The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) considers
   children to have an elevated level of lead if the amount in
the blood
   is at least 10 micrograms per deciliter (10 µg/dL). Lead in
teeth and 
   bones can be measured with X-rays, but this test is not as
readily
   available.
   
   Has the federal government made recommendations to protect
human
7health?
   
   The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
recommends all
   children be screened for lead poisoning at least once a year.
This is 
   especially important for children between 6 months and 6 years
old.
   
   The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires lead in air
not to
   exceed 1.5 micrograms per cubic meter (1.5 µg/cubic meter
averaged
   over 3 months. The sale of leaded gasoline will be illegal as
of  
   December 31, 1995. EPA limits lead in drinking water to 15
micrograms
   per liter.
   
   The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), EPA, and the
states
   control the levels of lead in drinking water coolers. Water
coolers
   that release lead must be recalled or repaired. New coolers
must be  
   lead-free. Drinking water in schools must be tested for lead.
   
    The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
requires that
   federally funded housing and renovations, public housing, and
Indian
   housing be tested for lead-based paint hazards. Hazards must
be fixed
8by covering the paint or removing it.Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) limits the
   concentration of lead in workroom air to 50 µg/cubic meter for
an
   8-hour workday. If a worker has a blood lead level of 40
µg/dL, OSHA
   requires that worker to be removed from the workroom.

A LITTLE HISTORY ABOUT "ATSDR SCIENCE CORNER"
   
 8"ATSDR Science Corner" is an HTML (HyperText Markup Language)
document
   (MENU) developed by Dr. Charlie Xintaras, Office of the
Associate
   Administrator for Science, ATSDR, to search the Internet for 
   information resources that are free, in the public domain, and
relate
   to environmental health issues of concern to ATSDR. The
primary focus
   of "ATSDR Science Corner" is to find and share global
information 
   resources on the linkage between human exposure to hazardous
chemicals
   and adverse human health effects. The MENU may be accessed
with NCSA's
   Mosaic or any World-Wide Web Browser that supports the HTML
document
   format.

   The MENU is a simple support tool for use by ATSDR scientists
and
   other researchers searching the Internet for relevant
environmental
   health information. The MENU is dynamic. New environmental
health
   information resources are cited, searched, and documented, as
they
   come on-line. It is a research service provided through the
ATSDR
   World-Wide Web Server. It is a way for ATSDR scientists to
find and
   share information with the public.
   A short description of each data resource is provided to help
you
9decide which data resource you want to access. To reach a
resource,   
   place the cursor over the highlighted hypertext and click
once.  
   
   Give it a try. Share your findings with others!! Keep in mind
that the
   Internet is in a state of flux. If something doesn't work,
have 
   patience. Somebody out there is trying to fix it.
   
    Send us your comments. If you found an address on the
Internet that  
   would be useful to scientists in this field, send it to us
with a   
   brief comment on how you used the information. In this way, we

TITLE   CELLULAR METABOLISM IN RESPONSE TO HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA

ABSTRACT:

Atherosclerotic disease is the predominant underlying organic
disorder leading to myocardial infarction, stroke, and peripheral
vascular disease.  Increased levels of serum cholesterol is a
major
risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis.  The primary
form of circulating cholesterol has been defined in recent years.

 
-- press pace for next page --2
Intracellular cholesterol content is regulated by integration of
two pathways that govern the supply of extracellular and
endogenous
cholesterol. Cells depleted of cholesterol increase their LDL
receptor numbers and increase the activity of cholesterol
biosynthetic enzymes.  As cholesterol builds up in the cell, LDL
receptor number and enzyme activities of a number of cholesterol
biosynthetic enzymes are downregulated.  The decrease in LDL
receptor number, and in activity of a rate-limiting cholesterol   
biosynthetic enzyme.  HMG-CoAreductase, is controlled, in part,
by
repression of transcription of these genes.  The experiments 
proposed are designed to elucidate the nature of the cellular
factors which interact with specific DNA elements to repress   
transcription of these genes in states of cholesterol abundance.
Using DNA fragments from previously identified sterol response
elements, gel mobilitiy shift analysis will be performed in
nuclear
and whole cell extracts from sterol-starved cells and from cells
grown in abundant sterols.  Site directed mutagenesis of the
sterol
response element(s) will be performed to correlate the binding
activity in vitro and activity as a repressor element in vivo.  
This will be correlated with in vivo occupancy of specific DNA   
3
binding sites by in vivo methylation protection.  With rapid
sensitive assays developed for detection of this trans-acting
factor(s), it will be possible to characterize the biochemical
nature of the protein, and the clone the cDNA encoding this
protein(s).  This will allow structural and functional analysis
of
the mechanism of action of this important transcription
regulatory
factor.  The developmental control of the activity of this  
repressive factor will be examined.  A search will be made for 
related transcriptional factors.  An analysis of the steric
constraints on action of the sterol repressive factor will be
undertaken, in order to better understand the requirements for
protein-protein interaction intranscriptional regulation.  Mutant
cell lines will derived in order to identify genes whose products
participate in sterol mediated gene repression.  Later studies
will
seek to examine the dynamics of sterol repression by an
identified 
factor(s) in metabolic states leading to elevated serum
cholesterol
such as hyperthroidism and diabetes.  Further insight developed
from these experiments into the normal process of receptor
regulation will allow the design of new strategies to reverse 
hypercholesterolemia and diabetes.  Further insight developed
from
4
these experiments into the normal process of receptor regulation
will allow the design of new strategies to reverse
hypercholesterolemia and prevent athersclerosis.

TITLE   SCOR IN CARDIOPULMONARY DISORDERS OF SLEEP
  SUB TITLE REGULATION OF PHARYNGEAL MUSCLE CONTRACTION

ABSTRACT:

Frequent sleep-related respiratory disturbances (SRRD) have been
recognized to occur in as many as 70% of elderly and 15% of
middle-aged
subjects.  Although it is widely agreed that subjects with
obvious
daytime sleepiness that occurs in association with severe
obstructive
sleep apnea (Respiratory disturbance indices (RDI) >30) benefit
from

treatment of their sleep disorders; there is no consensus (and a
paucity
of data) regarding treatment benefits in subjects with a less
profound
disorder.  Rational utilization of health care resources for
diagnosis
and treatment of sleep apnea requires assessment of whether
adverse
health effects occur as a consequence of mild or moderate levels
of SRRD,
and whether any such health effects may be reversible with
treatment.
In this study, we propose to determine the degree to which neuro-
psychological performance and general health status and function
may be
impaired in subjects with mild and moderate degrees of SRRD, as
compared
to subjects with minimal apneic activity.  The degree to which
improvement may occur following specific treatment will also be
assessed.
We propose to assess neuropsychological performance, sleepiness
and
general functional status in 330 subjects, including subjects
with little
apneic activity (RDI<5), mild activity (RDI 5-14), and moderate
activity
(RDI 15-25).  Of these subjects, 75% will be selected from a
clinic-based
sample, and 25% will be recruited from an ongoing
population-based study.
150 subjects with mild and moderate activity will be randomized
to
receive "conservative" medical therapy (CMT) or CMT plus nasal
CPAP
therapy.  We will utilize simple statistics, as well as
multivariate 
techniques, to determine the relationship between SRRD (and
associated
3
hypoxemia, sleep fragmentation, and physiological sleepiness) to:
a)
intellectual abilities, attention and vigilance, psychomotor
performance,
learning and memory, and executive functions, and b) to general
health
status and function.  Potential benefits of treatment specific
for sleep
apnea in subjects with mild and moderate SRRD will also be
determined
after two months of CPAP therapy.  These data will provide new
information about the health effects of mild and moderate sleep
apnea
that are needed for appropriate clinical decision making and
utilization
of health care resources.

TITLE   NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF PSYCHIATRIC AND
NEUROLOGICAL PATIENTS 
ABSTRACT:

A set of comprehensive neuropsychological test batteries is used
to
provide a complete assessment of various cognitive and sensory
functions that can be related to damage or dysfunction in
different
regions of the brain. The adult battery comprises tests designed
to tap
the following aspects of behavior: attention, executive
functions,

 
-- press pace for next page --2
language, memory, motor functions, orientation, selected sensory
and
perceptual functions, vigilance, and visual-spatial functions. In
addition, adults are given a test of general intelligence and a
personality inventory. In some studies, subjects are administered
a
structured psychiatric interview. Modified batteries have been
developed for the assessment of infants, preschool children, and
children ages 6-16. The data provided by these batteries are
being used
to construct a neuropsychological theory of the elements of
attention
that may be applied to the neurological and psychiatric
diagnostic
groups under study in the LPP. The LPP has as its major focus
disorders
involving impaired attention, including schizophrenia, epilepsy
eating
disorders, affective disorders, head injuries. and AIDS dementia
complex. Comparisons are being carried out between the
neuropsychological profiles of various groups of psychiatric
patients
and those of patients with known cerebral lesions in specified
brain
regions. Our data are also being used to delineate
neurobehaviorally-
defined subgroups within diagnostic categories, an undertaking
aimed
at reducing variability in psychiatric diagnosis, treatment, and  

outcome. The data provided by this protocol provide a complete
behavioral assessment that may be integrated with concurrently
gathered
3
electrophysiological, neuroradiological, and biochemical
information.

PERFORMING ORGANIZATION: GERONTOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA
TITLE   PHYSIOLOGICAL BASIS OF AGING--MOLECULE TO ORGANISM

ABSTRACT:

Financial support is requested to help fund the annual meeting of
The
Gerontological Society of America (GSA) to be held in New
Orleans, LA in
November, 1993. These funds will be used to offset the cost of
inviting
non-member symposium participants who will make substantial
contributions
to the success of the meetings. The GSA is the largest scientific
society

-- press pace for next page --2
in the United States dedicated to promoting scientific inquiry on
aging
and age-related problems. A major activity of the annual meeting
is to
facilitate better interaction, dissemination of information, and
exchange
of ideas among GSA members and non-members. The GSA meeting is
back-to-
back with the AGS and AFAR meetings.

The theme of the 1993 annual meeting of the Biological Sciences
is, "The
Physiological Basis of Aging: From Molecule to Organism". The
diversity
inherent in this theme is designed to give attendees broad,
in-depth
exposure to the major issues involved in aging research,
beginning at the 
molecular level and proceeding to the whole organism. Topics are
chosen to
address the most salient, current interests of gerontological
researchers.
Furthermore, the conference theme will encompass both theoretical
and
practical approaches to the exploration of aging processes by
critically
reappraising major hypotheses of aging and by proposing future
directions
of gerontological research. It is expected that the breadth and
depth of
this agenda will enhance not only the exchange of scholarly ideas
among 
experimental aging researchers, but will also generate excitement
for  
future research endeavors.The topics selected for the conference
plan are
organized in the following sessions: I. Evidence For/Against
Current
3
Theories of Aging. II. Interventions in the Aging Process. III.
Molecular
and Biochemical Bases of Age-Related Diseases. IV. Recent
Advances in the
Understanding of Systemic Dysfunctions in Aging. V. What is New
in
Mechanisms Underlying Dietary Restriction? VI. Cellular
Mechanisms and 
Regulation of Gene Expression in Aging. VII. Oxidative
Modification of
Cellular Constitutents in Aging. VIll. Insights into the
Molecular Biology
of the Aging Process. IX. Future Directions of Biological Aging
Research:
Panel Discussion.

The impressive advances made in the last two decades of
gerontological   
research clearly indicate that the aging phenomena involve multi-
factorial, biological processes. It follows that exploration of
these
complex biological processes requires a multi-disciplinary
approach with
resourceful, flexible experimental directions.The goal of this
meeting is
to bring together researchers with divergent interests and broad
expertise
to focus on further understanding of the mechanisms underlying
the
biological aging process.

TITLE   NUTRITION AND AGING--VITAMIN AND IMMUNE FUNCTION

ABSTRACT:

DESCRIPTION (Investigator's Abstract):  It is well established
that immune
responses tend to decrease as humans and animals enter old age. 
The role
of the chronic diet may play in modulating age-related changes in
immune
functions is not well understood.  Vitamin A (retinol) status may
be
particularly pertinent because of the demonstrated effects of
retinoids on

-- press pace for next page --2
cellular growth, differentiation and function.  The investigator
proposes
to use the Fischer 344 rat as a model of aging to explore the
effects of
chronic diet on two major aspects of immune function:  antibody
production
elicited by pneumococcal polysaccharide, a clinically important
antigen in
the aged population, and natural killer (NK) cell function, an
aspect of
antibody-independent immunity implicated in tumor surveillance
and in
regulation of the antibody responses.  The first two specific
aims will
establish (1) appropriate doses of antigen and timing of antibody 
production to pneumococcal polysaccharide in rats of various
ages, and (2)
appropriate dietary conditions to maintain rats in a chronic
marginal
vitamin A status or a retinol-abundant status.  Specific aim 3 is
designed
to address the following questions:  Does a chronic diet that is
marginal
in vitamin A exacerbate the age-related decrease in immune
functions?  Will
chronic dietary supplementation with vitamin A significantly
increase (or
possibly suppress) immune responses?  Animals will be studied at
four ages
so as to compare the responses of young, adult, "aging" and
elderly 
animals.  In Aim 4, the investigator will determine whether the  
retinol-enriched diet has deleterious effects, e.g., on serum
lipid
concentrations or liver function.  The goal of Aim 5 is to
determin
whether administration of retinol acutely can overcome the 
3
immunosuppressive effects of age in animals fed a diet
chronically marginal
in retinol.  Aim 6 will explore the hypothesis that vitamin A
affects   
immune functions, at least in part, through its action on
macrophages
and/or NK cells via the soluble factors they elaborate.  The
investigators
will conduct a series of mechanistic studies focused on the
response to 
lipopolysaccharide and lymphokines or cytokines, particularly
interleukin-1B, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and immune
interferon which
may regulate the antibody response to pneumococcal polysaccharide
and/or
cytotoxicity by NK cells.  In all, the proposed investigations
will help to
understand the role of chronic diet in the immune response to
infectious
disease and in natural immunity throughout the life span.

ABSTRACT:


  SUBPROJECT ABSTRACT NOT AVAILABLE.  PARENT ABSTRACT:

The overall objective of the Clinical Nutrition Research Unit
(CNRU) is to
provide an environment that fosters interdisciplinary
collaborations

-- press pace for next page --2
between basic and clinical nutrition scientists to promote
excellence in
research and thereby to strengthen the role of clinical nutrition
in
academic medicine.  The CNRU encompasses three major research
themes:

1. nutrition and diseases (AIDS, alcoholism, aging disorders,
diabetes,
heart disease, inflammatory disease, intestinal diseases and
metabolism,
and nutrition support of medical and surgical illness),

2. energy intake and metabolism (obesity, eating disorders), and

3. nutrition and development (perinatal development, infant
nutrition, and
extracellular matrix disorders).

The CNRU has six specific aims:

1. to provide Core Laboratories to facilitate collaborative
research,
including a) Clinical Nutrition Support (with Intestinal
Absorption &
Nutrient Balance, Vitamin & Mineral, and Lipoprotein Subcores),
b)
Metabolism (with Stable Isotope Subcore), c) Animal Models, d)
Molecular &
Cell Biology, and e) Administration;
3

2. to implement a Pilot & Feasibility Program and New
Investigator Award to
encourage young investigators and new approaches in clinical
nutrition;

3. to carry out an enrichment program, including weekly in-depth
scientific
seminars and annual visiting professors;

4. to provide research training for postdoctoral PhDs and
postgraduate MDs,
thereby increasing the viability of clinical nutrition as a
career choice
and expanding the number of academic nutritionists;

5. to strengthen existing nutrition support services by providing
essential
laboratory services, thereby increasing opportunities for
clinical
investigations of hospitalized patients; and

6. to disseminate nutrient information to health professionals
and the
public.
