摘要

The documentation of lead poisoning in Mexico started at the beginning of XIX century, clearly identifying the use of traditional ceramics to prepare, store and serve food as a source of exposure. These ceramics are produced with a final layer of a lead glaze, which is ideal for the low-temperature domestic kilns. The use of these ceramics is deeply embedded in Mexican culture, but with every use in cooking or serving of food, lead leaches out. Thus, ceramic ware constitutes an important source of exposure for both the end-users and artisan-producers and their families. Much epidemiological research has been conducted by our research group to assess the toxic effects of lead exposure on a wide variety of outcomes through the ELEMENT and PROGRESS cohort studies. Our research has had an impact on lead regulation in several countries, including the U.S. and Mexico. In Mexico, the reference blood lead level for pregnant women and 0-15 year old children was 10 μg/dL until 2017, when it matched the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) level of 5 μg/dL. Nevertheless, there is no routine surveillance program or social interventions to prevent lead exposure; furthermore, there is no public awareness of lead's toxicity. This talk will present the efforts conducted by our research group to generate supporting evidence that lead exposure is a public health problem in Mexico and should be addressed. Effects of lead exposure are subclinical, especially at low levels, and compete with other prominent health concerns such as obesity or diabetes. The strategies used by our group to generate evidence aimed at policy makers are designed in the context of scarce economic resources; therefore, lessons learned could be useful to other countries in similar situations.
