- Abstract
Lead is a known neurotoxicant. Several studies have suggested that occupational exposure to lead may lead to depression, anxiety and other psychiatric illness, but few studies have examined environmental lead exposure and depression. We evaluated the relationship between blood lead levels (BLL) and depression in a sample representative of the US population.
