Intellectual Impairment in children with Blood Lead Concentrations Below 10 ug per Deciliter
NEJM 348:1517-1526,1515, Canfield,R.L.,et al, 2003
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Blood lead concentrations, even those below 10 ug per deciliter, are inversely associated with childrenÆs IQ scores at three and five years of age, and associated declines in IQ are greater at these concentrations than at higher concentrations. These findings suggest that more U.S. children may be adversely affected by environmental lead than previously estimated.
