Blood LEAD level (BLL) was measured in all participants in fasting state.Results: Minimum BLL in control group was 1.8mg/dl, while in children with ADHD was 2.9mg/dl. Maximum BLL were 24.1 and 18.6 mg/dl among controls and those with ADHD, respectively. Mean BLL was 7.189±3.186 mg/dl in controls and 7.2±2.365 mg/dl in cases.
