Question

Lead is associated with damage to the nervous systems of fetuses and young children, resulting in lowered IQ and learning problems.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Lead is naturally found in the earth’s crust. it is toxic to humans and animals when inside the body. It can be found in air, soil and water. It is most dangerous to fetuses and young children because they absorb more lead and their nervous systems are more sensitive to the side effects of lead. Even low levels of it in blood of fetuses and young children leads to lowered IQ, learning problems, slowed growth, anemia, etc.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
