The reason for “another” is that we previously found that Mn might counteract Cadmium toxicity on child blood pressure. “the inverse association between Mn and child SBP was stronger at higher levels of Cd” https://t.co/eWkyJyRfJS

The first 2 Aims have been published previously. Aim 1 paper examined the individual & joint effects of in utero exposure to Pb, Hg, Cd, Se, & Mn on childhood BP. https://t.co/YLvI47DlaJ Check out the Aim 1 paper in @EHPonline: https://t.co/eWkyJyRfJS
