	Lead Poisoning - NSC
		The lead produced by vehicle emissions continues even today to present a hazard, as much of that lead now remains in soil where it was deposited over the years, especially near well-traveled roads and highways.
		In other words, if a woman had been exposed to enough lead as a child for some of the lead to have been stored in her bones, the mere fact of pregnancy can trigger the release of that lead and can cause the fetus to be exposed.
		Exposure to lead is estimated by measuring levels of lead in the blood (in micrograms of lead per deciliter of blood).
