After the researchers sampled and tested the soil environment of 55 families in Sydney's families, they found that there was a blood containing a lead in almost every two hens, and about 50%of the nourishing chicken egg lead content was too high. Essence Lead will have various negative effects on the human body, such as cardiovascular disease and renal dysfunction.

It is reported that the amount of pheasant eggs is closely related to the soil. When the hens peck in the soil, the lead in the soil will be intake in the body. Long -term urban activities have continuously accumulated pollutants in the soil, and these substances can enter the food chain through vegetables and animals. In addition, many old houses are affected by previously used lead coatings and gasoline. The amount of lead in the soil is higher than that of other regions, and the lead in nourishing chicken eggs is also higher. In addition to soil factors, drinking water and feed will also affect the amount of lead in eggs. (Zhang Zixi)
