【中國人體內重金屬超標?】去年,刊登在美國《移民與難民研究》雜誌上的一份關於“紐約健康和營養檢測調查報告”顯示,來自中國大陸的移民血液中鉛、鎘、汞等重金屬含量高於來自其他亞洲地區的移民。鉛比其他亞洲新移民高出44%。報告稱,雖然這一情況堪憂,但隨著一些措施的實施,前景不可怕。
New Yorkers who were born in Mainland China have a more favorable men-
tal, cardiac, and reproductive health profile than other New Yorkers, but
higher exposures to heavy metals. The diet among Chinese New Yorkers is
heavy in vegetables and seafood, which may both explain the lower cardiac
risk profile and the higher exposure to mercury (Newman & Linke, 1982;
Porterfield, 1951). Cadmium and lead can persist in the body for decades,
and may reflect exposures within China (Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, n.d.). However, recent exposures to lead could occur via tra-
ditional medicines that contain lead (Ernst, 2002). While lead tends to be
sequestered in the bones, on average, those with significant early life lead

論文中隻說華人鉛含量(Lead ug/dL, 單位是微克每0.1升) 比其他亞裔和本土紐約人高出 0.44微克和0.81微克,並沒有給出百分比.並沒有與中國的重金屬汙染聯係起來.文章總體上是褒揚大陸移民的生活Style.
