Summary
This study is evaluating the relationship of chronic lead exposure to adverse pregnancy outcome and infant development. The study draws upon a unique community surrounding a lead smelter, refinery and battery plant in Titova Mitrovica, Yugoslavia. Control subjects are being studied in Pristina, a non-lead-exposed town 40 km to the south.
