The result of this system of reporting is that the mass media provide only "meager risk information" on environmental topics (Griffin & Dunwoody, 1997); this conclusion seems equally appropriate for coverage of lead by newspapers. Although in in vitro studies and epidemiologic studies suggest that the ALAD-2 polypeptide binds lead more tightly and effectively than does ALAD-1 (3,7,8), the theoretical differential binding of lead by the ALAD isoenzymes does not indicate greater susceptibility to lead for persons with the ALAD-2 genotype. This finding is in keeping with the expectation of a low bioavailability of lead in wax leading to lower absorption of lead by the body, and illustrates the feasibility of lead poisoning on the basis of repeated crayon chewing. |
