Résumé
-A study to assess lead exposure of traveller children aged from 9 months to 18 years old was conducted in Charente-France between 2017 and 2019. A face-to-face questionnaire was administered to each participating family (N = 78). Blood samples were collected, and in case of lead poisoning, an environmental survey of soil, dust and water samples was also performed. -Among the 100 children, they were 39 girls and 61 boys. Among them, 40 suffered from lead poisoning (Blood Lead Level ≥50 μg/L). Being a boy aged between 11 and 14 years old, and participating in lead exposure at-risk activities were significantly associated with higher mean blood lead level. -The high levels of lead detected advocate the reinforcement of lead poisoning screening for all children in the traveller population.
