美国:中国大陆移民体内重金属高出其他移民(图)

【中国人体内重金属超标?】去年,刊登在美国《移民与难民研究》杂志上的一份关于“纽约健康和营养检测调查报告”显示,来自中国大陆的移民血液中铅、镉、汞等重金属含量高于来自其他亚洲地区的移民。铅比其他亚洲新移民高出44%。报告称,虽然这一情况堪忧,但随着一些措施的实施,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

论文中只说华人铅含量(Lead ug/dL, 单位是微克每0.1升) 比其他亚裔和本土纽约人高出 0.44微克和0.81微克,并没有给出百分比.并没有与中国的重金属污染联系起来.文章总体上是褒扬大陆移民的生活Style.
