Lead toxicity in children and pregnant women of Bihar (Hindi)

Dr. Arun Kumar, Senior Scientist at Mahavir Cancer and Research Center, Fulwari Sharif, Patna, Bihar, conducted ground assessments to determine the extent of lead toxicity in children and pregnant women in Bihar. The results of his study were concerning, as he found that many children had double-digit levels of lead concentration in their blood, which exceeded the permissible limit of ≥ 5 µg.

Dr. Kumar suspects that lead poisoning is responsible for the stunted growth observed in the affected children. To learn more, click here: https://www.pureearth.org/india/
