They then calculated population elevations of mental health symptoms known to be associated with lead exposure by calculating \u201cmental illness points.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the exact approach we have taken in the past to estimate lead\u2019s harms for population cognitive ability and IQ,\u201d McFarland told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2024\/12\/241204114237.htm\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sc-93594058-0 fowfrQ  \" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2024\/12\/241204114237.htm\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Science Daily,<\/em><\/a> noting that the research team previously identified that lead lowered IQ points from the U.S. population over the past century by 824 million.<\/p>\n<p>Their latest research estimates that 151 million cases of psychiatric disorders\u2014including depression, anxiety, and hyperactivity\u2014 from the past 75 years can be traced to childhood lead exposure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe saw very significant shifts in mental health across generations of Americans,\u201d Hauer told <em>Science Daily.<\/em> \u201cMeaning many more people experienced psychiatric problems than would have if we had never added lead to gasoline.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The researchers point out, however, that this study does not prove causation. They also note that it is only based on exposure to leaded gasoline, not factoring in other lead exposures from lead pipes, contaminated food and soil, or airborne dust from lead-emitting manufacturing, waste incineration, and lead processing operations.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How does lead affect the brain?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Lead exposure is most dangerous to children, and can be particularly disruptive to brain development in early life, researchers explained in the study. They noted that childhood lead exposure could result in decreased cognitive ability, fine motor skills, and emotional regulation capacity.<\/p>\n<p>Numerous <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/20019913\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sc-93594058-0 fowfrQ  \" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/20019913\/\" rel=\"noopener\">other studies<\/a> have linked childhood lead exposure with mental disorders, the researchers wrote, including depression and anxiety, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/34253605\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sc-93594058-0 fowfrQ  \" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/34253605\/\" rel=\"noopener\">personality changes<\/a> that lead to neuroticism and lower impulse-control.<\/p>\n<p>Even small amounts of lead can cause serious health problems, according to the Mayo<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/lead-poisoning\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20354717\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sc-93594058-0 fowfrQ  \" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/lead-poisoning\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20354717\" rel=\"noopener\"> Clinic<\/a>. Children younger than 6 are especially vulnerable to the impacts of lead exposure, which can cause developmental delays, learning difficulties, and irritability, among other symptoms in children and newborns, from sluggishness and vomiting to hearing loss and seizures.<\/p>\n<p>Babies exposed to lead before birth might be born prematurely, have lower birth weight, and have slowed growth\u2014while adults can experience high blood pressure, joint and muscle pain, memory issues, headaches, mood disorders, reduced sperm count, and miscarriage or stillbirth as a result from lead poisoning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHumans are not adapted to be exposed to lead at the levels we have been exposed to over the past century,\u201d Reuben told <em>Science Daily.<\/em> \u201cWe have very few
