Lead exposure linked to infectious disease risk at Iowa State
Research at Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine shows environmental lead disrupts antibody production in animals. Funded by EPA and MEHS, the study suggests heavy metals impair immunity, increasing susceptibility to viral and bacterial infections and possibly cancerous cells. The project extends to pigs, sheep, and rats with mercury and cadmium also under study.
