“…This practice has now become widespread in European nations and North America. In a great number of kohls accessible on the free market, lead sulfide is the principle component and the very high lead concentration is a risk, especially for women and children [38].…”

Background: There has been much debate and inquiry surrounding the nature of the increase in prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). There are many environmental risk factors that have been postulated to be associated with the development of ASD. Cosmetic products are widely used in daily life. The aim of this study was to clarify whether maternal cosmetics usage is a risk factor of ASD. Patients and Methods: The present work was a cross sectional case-control study. Fifty eight mothers with children, who have been diagnosed with ASD by meeting the DMS-5 criteria, were compared with 49 mothers with neurotypical children. The mothers were asked to complete a short questionnaire comprised their use of cosmetics outside of pregnancy and changes in use during pregnancy. Results: No statistically significant difference was found between cases and controls as regard the overall usage of cosmetics. Indoors usage of makeup was significantly higher among mothers with autistic children than mothers of controls (p = 0.36). The duration of cosmetics usage was significantly higher among the mothers of controls than mothers with autistic children (p = 0.011). Eyes and lips makeup were the most frequent of makeup type among mothers with autistic children and controls while hair protein or keratin were the least frequent of makeup type among both groups. The number of women who reported the usage of lips makeup was significantly higher among the mothers of controls than those with autistic children (p = 0.024). The number of mothers with autistic children who reported "no change" as regard the usage pattern during pregnancy was significantly higher than those of the controls (p = 0.042

“…Mineral, linseed, castor, eucalyptus, lanolin, turpentine, sesame oils and waxes such as paraffin, carnauba wax or beeswax are commonly mixed with iron oxides for color [2]. Reports of poisoning in Arabic cultures from the use of lead-containing black eye paste have been reported [3]. Modern cosmetics are highly regulated and relatively safe to use [2].…”

Background/Aims: It has been suggested that eye makeup could interact with human meibum causing a decrease in the stability of the tear film. The aim of this pilot study was to measure makeup-human meibum interactions in vitro. Methods: Human meibum-makeup interactions were quantified by measuring order-to-disorder lipid phase transitions using infrared spectroscopy. Results: Makeup products exhibited lipid phase transition temperatures that were much higher than those for meibum. One product increased the lipid phase transition temperature by 4.2°C when combined with human meibum causing a large increase (from 30 to 49%) in the order of the meibum-lipid hydrocarbon chains and significantly decreased the minimum frequency, enthalpy and entropy of the phase transition of human meibum. Another eyeliner caused no significant (p < 0.05) change in the phase transition parameters of human meibum. Conclusion: Infrared spectroscopy may be used to measure interactions between human meibum and makeup. One makeup product increased the lipid order (viscosity) which could have adverse effects on tear film stability. Modern cosmetics are highly regulated and relatively safe to use; however, it could be beneficial to design makeup products that do not interact with meibum, especially since women have a higher prevalence of dry eye symptoms.

The study objectives were to estimate lead poisoning prevalence among children living next to an industrial area, to compare it to that in a control population, and to establish clinical and biological follow-up of the poisoned children. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study including 150 children (exposed and unexposed) performed between January 2012 and April 2013. It was meant to determine blood lead levels (BLLs) in children considered to be an exposed population (EP N 90), living in the industrial area Ain Nokb Fez compared with BLLs of children of other areas belonging to the same city supposed to be unexposed [UP (N = 60)]. A sociodemographic questionnaire was obtained, and a blood lead analysis was performed. Clinical and biological follow-up has been performed of poisoned children. The sample consisted of 90 EP children with an average age of 6.82 ± 3.32 years and male-to-female sex ratio (SR) of 1.5 and 60 UP children with an average age of 6.45 ± 3.29 years and an SR of 1.2. Among the 150 children recruited, the average of BLLs was 58.21 ± 36 µg/L (18-202.3 μg/L). The average of BLLs in EP children (71 ± 40 µg/L) was statistically greater (p < 0.0001) than that registered in UP children (38 ± 13 µg/L). All poisoned children belonged to the EP group at a prevalence of 21.1 %. The clinical and biological examinations of poisoned children showed a few perturbations such as anemia, hypocalcaemia, and deficiencies in magnesium and iron. No renal disease or objective neurological disorders were observed. In the follow-up of the children with BLL ≥100 µg/L (19 cases). BLL monitoring showed a significant decrease in average of blood concentration ranging from 136.75 ± 32.59 to 104.58 ± 32.73 µg/L (p < 0.0001) and in lead poisoning prevalence (p < 0.001), which decreased to 7.8 % from 21.1. Our study showed a high prevalence of lead poisoning (21.1 %) in EP children. The relocation of the industrial site associated with corrective and preventive measures has contributed to a decrease of exposure and lead poisoning prevalence in the aforementioned population.
