Abstract

Çevrede yaygın bir şekilde
bulunan ve birçok endüstiriyel alanda kullanılan kurşun, insan sağlığı için
risk teşkil etmektedir. Fetal kurşun etkileniminin değerlendirilmesinde, anne
kan kurşun düzeyi ve kord kanı kurşun düzeyleri yaygın bir şekilde
kullanılmaktadır. Vücuda değişik yollarla alınması, depolanması ve gebelikte
plasenta aracılığıyla fetüse ulaşması sonucu, fetüs üzerinde olumsuz sağlık
sonuçlarına neden olabilmektedir. Kanda kurşun seviyelerinin azaltılması için
gebelik döneminde öncelikli olarak beslenme önem arz etmektedir. Gebelikte kan
kurşun düzeylerinin olumsuz etkilerinin azaltılması konusunda sağlık
çalışanlarına özellikle halk sağlıkçılara önemli görevler düşmektedir.

Abstract

Lead, which is widely
found in the environment and used in many industrial areas, poses a risk to
human health. In the evaluation of fetal lead effects, maternal blood lead
level and cord blood lead levels are widely used. It may cause negative health
consequences on fetus as a result of various ways of getting, storing and
reaching the fetus through the placenta in pregnancy. In order to reduce lead
levels in the blood, nutrition is primarily important during pregnancy. Health
workers, especially public health professionals, have an important role in
reducing the negative effects of blood lead levels during pregnancy.

Çevrede yaygın bir şekilde bulunan ve birçok
endüstriyel alanda kullanılan kurşun, insan sağlığı için risk teşkil
