According to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), adults absorb 11% of the lead that reaches their digestive tract, and children absorb between 30 to 75%. When lead is inhaled – up to 50% is absorbed. And, by the way, the half–life for lead is about 20 years.
A study published in the journal Environmental Health found that women between the ages of 65 and 87 – with high levels of lead – were almost 60% more likely to succumb to heart disease, during the 12 year study, than the women with lower levels.
It is thought that the high lead levels were accumulated over a lifetime of exposure, said author Nadia Khalil, MD, PhD. MPH, postdoctoral research associate at Wright State University in Ohio. As people age, the stored lead leaches out and can lead to heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke.
