Abstract
A growing body of literature suggests a relationship between metals an d a threatened health status among children, adolescents, and adults. Recently, several investigators have reported a direct link between ex posure to metal and diminished affective, behavioral, and cognitive pe rformance of school children. The purpose of the present study was to review and analyze methods and procedures used to understand the relat ionship between exposure to metals and cognitive, social, and motor fu nctioning of school children.
