Chronic Childhood

I read the AAP's recent statement, "Acute and Chronic Childhood Lead Poisoning,"1 with disappointment verging on alarm. The statement recommends that "the major emphasis . . . be placed on the testing of dwellings for lead-pigment paints . . . in order to identify high-risk areas." Yet many such areas, or "lead belts," have long been so correctly identified that 20 to 40% of young children screened from these areas have been shown to have blood lead values of 40 µg/100 ml or more.2

Chronic Childhood

The otherwise excellent and timely statement on acute and chronic childhood lead poisoning of the Academy's Committee on Environmental Hazards and Subcommittee on Accidental Poisoning of the Committee on Accident Prevention1 has one serious omission. After calling attention to pica as a major factor in lead poisoning in young children, this fundamental cause for most cases of plumbism is disregarded. A basic part of the problem would appear to be how it attacks the reasons why the children eat the paint on the walls in the first place.
