El daño por plomo a la salud poblacional no es el saturnismo, sino la intoxicación crónica a dosis bajas. Aunque la máxima en toxicología de "a mayor dosis, mayor el efecto" aplica al plomo, enfocarse en prevenir exposiciones bajas o moderadas es más relevante para la salud pública. Esta es la paradoja de la prevención de la intoxicación con plomo: la gran mayoría de las personas tiene concentraciones relativamente bajas de plomo en sangre, pero al no haberse identificado un umbral por debajo del cual el plomo en sangre no dañe la salud, es en estos casos en donde más se concentra la carga total de la enfermedad atribuible al plomo.

The association between lead exposure and crime: A systematic review.

Prior research has demonstrated an association between lead exposure and criminal behavior at the population-level, however studies exploring the effect of lead exposure on criminal behavior at the individual-level have not been reviewed systematically. The intent of this study is to complete a systematic review of all studies assessing individual-level exposures to lead and the outcomes of crime and antisocial behavior traits. We included peer reviewed studies that were published prior to August 2022 and were classified as cohort, cross-sectional, or case-control.

Total Excess Mortality Surveillance for Real-Time Decision-Making in Disasters and Crises.

Crises such as Hurricane Maria and the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have revealed that untimely reporting of the death toll results in inadequate interventions, impacts communication, and fuels distrust on response agencies. Delays in establishing mortality are due to the contested definition of deaths attributable to a disaster and lack of rapid collection of vital statistics data from inadequate health system infrastructure. Readily available death counts, combined with geographic, demographic, and socioeconomic data, can serve as a baseline to build a continuous mortality surveillance system.
