Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health
  • Toxicology
  • Developmental Psychology

Background:

  • Lead exposure is a global public health issue with known adverse health effects.
  • Emerging evidence links lead exposure to antisocial behaviors like aggression and crime.
  • A comprehensive review is needed to advance scientific understanding and policy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the association between lead exposure and antisocial behavior.
  • To evaluate human epidemiological and nonhuman mammalian experimental studies.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review protocol following COSTER and U.S. EPA IRIS guidelines.
  • Searched PubMed, BIOSIS, Web of Science; results stored in HERO database.
  • Included human studies on various antisocial outcomes and animal studies on aggression and fear/anxiety responses.

Main Results:

  • Data extraction and screening aided by AI.
  • Two independent reviewers assessed study relevance and eligibility.
  • Narrative review and meta-analysis for human studies; narrative review for animal studies.

Conclusions:

  • Evidence streams will be evaluated separately and integrated.
  • The review aims to strengthen the scientific basis for lead exposure reduction policies.
  • This work will inform global strategies to mitigate lead's impact on behavior.
