Article Synopsis
- Previous research found that lead (Pb) and other heavy metals are present in eggs from backyard birds, with environmental exposure likely playing a key role in this contamination.
- A cohort study measured Pb levels in eggs and various tissues, finding much higher concentrations in bone, blood, and liver compared to eggs.
- The low Pb concentration in eggs suggests that while chickens may accumulate Pb in other tissues, this still poses a public health risk due to potential exposure through consumption.
