The study published in JAMA reveals that lead exposure can have lasting effects on cardiovascular health, even years after initial exposure.
Lead has been shown to elevate blood pressure and damage the lining of blood vessels, which could increase the risk of heart attacks.
These findings underscore the need for ongoing monitoring and management of lead exposure in populations at risk, as the implications for public health infrastructure are significant.
