Lead concentrations in maternal blood, umbilical cord blood, and breast milk from 114 women who were not occupationally exposed to lead were determined by graphite atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The mean concentrations of lead in maternal blood, umbilical cord blood and breast milk were 0.7, 0.55, and 0.23 mumol/l, respectively. A significant correlation was observed between maternal and umbilical cord blood (r = 0.63). A lower correlation was noted between maternal blood and breast milk (r = 0.29). These results suggest that lead freely crosses the placental barrier from mother to fetus and the transfer of this heavy metal from maternal tissues to breast milk is possible, but the metabolic mechanisms are more complicated. In addition, a longitudinal study was conducted of concentrations of lead in breast milk in nine lactating women. Results suggested no significant change in the content of lead in breast milk during early lactation.
采用石墨原子吸收分光光度法测定了114名非职业性接触铅的女性的母血、脐带血和母乳中的铅浓度。母血、脐带血和母乳中铅的平均浓度分别为0.7、0.55和0.23μmol/L。母血和脐带血之间存在显著相关性(r = 0.63)。母血和母乳之间的相关性较低(r = 0.29)。这些结果表明,铅可自由通过胎盘屏障从母亲转移至胎儿,这种重金属从母体组织转移至母乳是可能的,但代谢机制更为复杂。此外,对9名哺乳期女性的母乳铅浓度进行了纵向研究。结果表明,哺乳早期母乳中的铅含量无显著变化。
