“…In 2008, Lamb et al reported that prenatal lead exposure was not significantly associated with height growth (19). Based on the results, postnatal lead exposure in the first 48 months affected height growth more in comparison to prenatal exposure.…”

“…One study reported no significant association between prenatal lead exposure and height growth at the age of four (18); likewise, another study did not present any association between mid-pregnancy exposure to lead and height growth in the entire pediatric age group (19). Another study revealed opposite results and reported that both prenatal and postnatal lead exposure might cause short stature of two-to three -year -old children (20); likewise another study reported the same results in children less than two years old (18).…”

Objective: Height is a multifactorial characteristic affected by genetics, hormonal and environmental factors. The aim of this study was to systematically review the effects of environmental pollutants, chemical factors, and climate changes on children and adolescents' height.Methods: This study searched scientific databases including PubMed, ISI Web of Science, and Scopus using key words such as "Environmental Pollution", "Climate Change", "Growth", "Body Height", "Child and adolescent development", and their combination. By removing duplicates, relevant papers were selected in three phases. This review included studies that were conducted among children and adolescents up to the age of 18. After the quality assessment, data was extracted by a reviewer and rechecked by another one. The authors summarized information of 52 articles about the possible effects of environmental factors and climate change on height. Articles were divided to four categories, including air, soil, water pollutants, and climate changes.

The aim of this work is to verify whether there are statistically significant correlations between the concentrations of lead in blood, urine, and hair in children. The sample collected in 2007 consists of 163 children of both sexes from 11-14-year-olds, living in three municipalities of Sardinia (Italy). Inductively coupled plasma atomic mass spectrometry has been used in the determination of lead concentration in biological material. For the overall sample, there is a non-significant partial correlation among the three matrices. However, for subjects with blood lead levels ≥5 μg/dL, there is a significant positive partial correlation between the lead levels in blood and hair, but not between blood and urine or between urine and hair. The results suggest that blood is the preferred biomarker to ascertain lead exposure in human populations, whereas hair can be used as a tool screening when an area is exposed to medium or high lead pollution.
