| Abstract: | The paper deals with the studies of the levels of lead in the biological media in women in labour and their neonatal infants who live in poor environmental areas. A comparison was made of the levels of lead in the biological media of the women in labour and neonates from the experimental and control groups. There was a relationship between the levels of lead in the biological media of the newborn and the mother. A total of 7 different biosubstrates from the women in labour and neonatal babies were examined. The studies were made by atomic absorption spectrophotometry on a Perkin Elmer 3110 device. |
