Lead

NPR's Richard Harris reports that a new study suggests that children exposed to lead are at increased risk for anti-social behavior. The study in the Journal of the American Medical Association examined behavior and traces of lead in the bone. The study found that those with the highest levels were most likely to behave in aggressive or delinquent ways.
