Abstract

Background and Objectives: Considering the effect of HEAVY METALS (particularly LEAD) on intelligent quotient level, it was measured in children living in high LEAD areas in Angouran district of ZANJAN province.Material and Methods: In this historical cohort study all (n=64) grade - one students living in Angouran village were selected as case group. 62 other students living in low LEAD areas, but with similar socio - economic, cultural and racial conditions were selected as the control group. In a double blind study using the Wechsler's intelligence scale for children - revised (WISC-R) the IQ level of both groups were calculated.This test is regarded as the most accurate test with 80-90% reliability. The IQ of 90 or more is considered normal and less than this is low. By using chi-square the IQ of the two groups living in high and low - LEAD areas were compared. The T-test and P- value with 95% reliability and the relative risk of decrease of IQ due to living in high - LEAD areas were calculated.Results: The average IQ level in 64 children living in high LEAD area was 86.64+/-9.68 with 40 (62.5%) having less than normal level. In comparison in the other group the average IQ level was 91.98+/-10.26 with 24 of the children (38.7%) having less than normal level. The IQ level in children living in high-lead area was significantly lower than children living in low-lead area (P<0.0031).Discussion: Although the serum level of LEAD was not determined but the results of this study are strongly in favor of the relationship between living in high-lead areas and low IQ levels. Preventive and therapeutic precautions are necessary in theses areas.
