A study of blood lead levels and intelligence, reading, and behaviour problems was carried out using a sample of 579 Dunedin 11-yr-old children. The results suggested that when account was taken of social, environmental, and background factors, raised blood lead is associated with a small but statistically significant increase in children's general behaviour problems as reported by both parents and teachers. These results applied especially to the more specific problems of inattention and hyperactivity.
一项针对579名达尼丁11岁儿童的样本进行了血铅水平与智力、阅读及行为问题的研究。结果表明，在考虑了社会、环境和背景因素后，父母和教师报告称，血铅水平升高与儿童总体行为问题虽小但在统计学上有显著增加有关。这些结果尤其适用于注意力不集中和多动等更具体的问题。
