CNDSN1 month 27 days [] (camp news agency) to "talk about the mere mention of lead" is the newcharacteristic of modern society. While many parents are not concentrated in children hyperactivity,attention and confused and worried, they need to pay attention to children's blood lead level. WHO estimates global more than 1/3 of the children's disease burden associated with environmental factors,among which the most clear is the environment of lead poisoning. Lead poisoning in children is an international problem.

In January 19, 2015, WHO (WHO) and director of the children's health cooperation center, director of Dai Yaohua Capital Institute of Pediatrics doctor tutor, BabyCare remains tiny Kang nutrition center, the Chinese Preventive Medicine Association "nutrition and disease prevention" doctor continuing education projectmembers, BabyCare's chief health consultant Zhang Wenmin guest xinhuanet.com, to explore the "lead exposure and children's health".

Two experts in a comprehensive analysis of the way of lead poisoning in children and two stages, one is the fetal lead exposure, one is lead exposure after birth.

Professor Dai Yaohua believes that the main reason is that the fetal lead exposure: blood lead levels of pregnant women is high, lead can be passed to the fetus through the placenta. Infant blood lead concentration and mother similar levels and pregnancy diet, environmental or occupational leadaccumulation in the body of the mother. The original mother body savings lead because of somephysiological changes into the body and re distribution, such as increased during pregnancy and lactationmother the body's demand for calcium, lead release ratio factor into the blood is on the increase.

Professor Dai said, after the birth of a child is also susceptible to lead exposure, which can be summarized as "three highs": higher exposure. Hand to mouth behavior; pica; patent leather / dust dust inhalation intake.High absorption. Children with higher absorption rate. Gao Min geist: lead poisoning directly affect the developing brain, blood brain barrier of immature children.

"There have been many parents said that their children blood lead level in the normal range, that is to saythere is no blood lead exceed the standard, the process of communication today, I think there is an important message of hope to cause everybody's attention." Zhang Wenmin stressed that, "in the blood leadlevels have dropped today, low-level lead poisoning effect on the health of the more prominent. More and more studies show that blood lead levels of children in any are developing brain caused different degreedamage."

Some have lead poisoning children often accompanied by anemia and other problems, parents want to know what can reduce lead poisoning effects on health. "First of all, pregnant women should pay attention to their diet, balanced nutrition intake, especially minerals calcium, reduce because calcium transfer also increasedblood lead and re distribution. Away from the pollution of the environment, pay attention to the children to wash their hands, selection of high quality toys, do not go out in the fog haze days, less in the car place to stay etc.." Zhang Wenmin talked about.

At present, in China child policy implementation, the emergence of the elderly more and more mothers, theirdemand for various nutrients and higher. After be pregnant, need to increase the minimum body heat, butthe need for a variety of vitamins, minerals and trace elements is large, quasi mother if trying to meet all thenutritional needs through diet, often find that the heat has passed, some nutrients, still can not meet the needs of.

Therefore, based on as much as possible to eat a balanced diet, quasi mother consciously supplements trace element compound vitamin and mineral is very meaningful. For children, using nutrition interventionmeans to resist the harm of lead poisoning is very important.

Pregnant women and children are the most innocent people, they need to be safe and effective products.BabyCare from its inception, has determined to the maternal and child and family nutrition and health careerdevelopment direction. Stick from the humanized thinking, starting from the mother's point of view, nutrition and health care for children and the family, the production of products specifically for mothers and children.For example BabyCare continue growth ING I for pregnant and nursing mothers, from ING II to the growth ofBabyCare childhood.

Since 2006, BabyCare and Chinese care center for children's development of the next generation Committee jointly "growth project" education activities; the same year with the women's Federation and the promotion of "seed project" series of educational activities, to the whole society to promote "eugenics from preconception" scientific parenting philosophy, the prevention of birth defects, improve the birth populationquality; 2013, BabyCare also supports "nutrition and disease prevention education activities, nutrition and health" will be the correct scientific knowledge by medical personnel to convey to the people. BabyCare tothink, promote public health, reduce the medical burden of the individual and the society which has great social value.

"Today we focus discussion has been decreasing from lead poisoning effect of turning completely eliminateenvironmental lead. This is a big project, the efforts of the whole society." Zhang Wenmin said, "this will also be the focus of the work of the next stage of babycare." *
