Pblevels in the blood as biomaker of exposure to lead (Pb) to the decrease in hemoglobin levels.Result: Subjects with levels of lead (Pb) on not normal level were 12 people with mean+ SD BLL 28.33+7.714;Subjects with hemoglobin levels below the normal were 15 people with the mean+SD 12.04+1,340. There is arelationship between BLL with the level or haemoglobin (r = -0,418 and p value = 0.017). Lead exposure was tobe risk factor for the low haemoglobin level with RP of 2.5.Conclution: Women of Childbearing Age had a Ratio Prevalence of 2.5 for the low level of haemoglobin.Keywords: Lead Exposure, hemoglobin levels, Women of Childbearing Age]]>
