title: [Lead and child health].
abstract: Effects of lead toxicity in children are reviewed. Several epidemiological studies performed in Spain are also depicted, with special attention to the city of Cartagena where a mean of 8.05 +/- 4.2 mcg/dl is obtained. The fact that the small increment observed in children living in polluted area may be due more to socioeconomic level (related to indoor pollution) than to outdoor pollution is stressed.
