QUESTION: Literature about lead in pregnancy for doctor working with 35,000 lead poisoned people, 28 Mar 2006, Junn Peru

Dear Madam,
In Oroya City there are a refinery, that is sending to space every days 2500 tons of lead and others heavy metals. The children have 300% more lead it is permitted in the blood, the workers, 400%, women pregnancy 27ug/dl, their newborn 17ug/dl and in their placenta 317ug/100 grams. It is a genocide. I am doing a research about this topic.
Could you send me literature about lead in pregnancy such as:

1)Baghurst PA, et al. Lead in the placenta , membranes, and umbilical cord in relation to pregnancy in a lead smelter community. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1519491/ Environ Health Perspect 1991;90:315.

2)Centeno JA, et al. The assessment of trace elements and toxic metal levels in human placental tissues. Metal Biol in Biology and Medicine. Ed Th Collery 1996;4:522,

3)Clark ARL. Placental transfer of lead and its effects on the newborn Postgrad Med J 1977;53:674-678, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2496831/

4)Goyer RA. Lead toxicity: from overt to subclinical to subtle health effect. Environ Health Perspect. 1990 June; 86: 177–181. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1567746/

11) OTHERS latest RESEARCH which you have WRITTEN ABOUT THE SAME TOPIC
With my best regards.
