Exposure to which of the highlighted elements in Figure $P 19.1$ could cause anemia and bone disease?
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) monitors air quality in the United States. Lead is among the pollutants regularly monitored and regulated. Lead is released into the atmosphere primarily by the processing of metals ores containing lead and by lead-based battery manufacturing. The effects of too much exposure to lead include neurological damage and cardiovascular disease. Because of the Clean Air Act and its amendments, the amounts of lead in air have been decreasing for many years. The chart below shows the lead concentration in air in the United States from 2000 to 2014. Examine the data and answer the questions below.
Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change. Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or even energy, such as noise, heat or light. An October 2017 study by the Lancet Commission on Pollution and Health found that global pollution, specifically toxic air, water, soils and workplaces, kills nine million people annually, which is triple the number of deaths caused by AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria combined, and 15 times higher than deaths caused by wars and other forms of human violence. Which one of the scenarios below is LEAST Likely to be a health consequence of pollution? A) Cancer is China's leading cause of death. B) Diabetes killed 1.6 million people worldwide in 2016, up from less than 1 million in 2000. C) Over ten million people in India became ill with waterborne illnesses in 2013, and 1,535 people died, most of them children. D) US researchers found that exposure to low lead levels from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s was linked to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and death over the next 20 years.
