Research shows that lead is directly connected to health-related illnesses that’ve been linked to maternal deaths in New Jersey. Elyse Pivnick, senior director for environmental health at Isles, Inc. and LFNJ Health Committee co-chair shares: “It’s a big surprise, so you may not have any lead in your bloodstream until your last trimester, and you’ll have no idea that’s occurring. So if you were exposed to lead as a child, the lead locks in the bones where calcium was supposed to be. So even if you moved out of that environment long ago, when you are pregnant as an adult, you may very well remobilize lead locked in the bones when the body is trying to pull out calcium to nurture the fetus.” NJ Spotlight News
