Association between Maternal Lead Exposure from Seafood Consumption and Neurodevelopment: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: Despite the essential nutrients, maternal seafood consumption during pregnancy or lactation (PL) is also a potential source of toxins, including lead (Pb). The association between exposure to Pb from seafood during PL on children's neurodevelopment is uncertain. This systematic review assessed the association of exposure to Pb from seafood during PL on children's neurodevelopment. Embase, PubMed, CENTRAL, and PsycINFO were searched for English-language peer-reviewed articles. Two independent reviewers screened at title, abstract, and full-text levels. Experimental and observational studies comparing different levels of exposure to seafood and Pb were eligible if: 1) the exposed population included healthy pregnant or lactating individuals from high or very high human development index coun
