- Background. Lead exposure increases each year, with increasing number of vehicle as the main cause. Children, especially under 6 year old are more susceptible to lead exposure. One of the effects of lead exposure is on hemoglobin synthesis. Aims. To determine blood lead levels and its correlation to hemoglobin level in 1- 6 years of age children. Methods. A cross-sectional study was done from October 2012 to November 2012. Subjects were children aged 1-6 years who lived around a crowded traffic intersection at Gedongtengen, Pingit, and Juminahan Yogyakarta. Blood lead and hemoglobin levels were measured by AAS and spectrophotometry method respectively. Blood lead and hemoglobin level correlation was determined by using Spearman correlation test. Results. Of 65 children enrolled in this study, 25 (38.5%) were boys and 40 (61.5%) were girls with mean aged was 3 year and 9 month old. Blood lead levels were ranged from 0.01-10.67 Î1⁄4g/dL with mean value of 3.73 Î1⁄4g/dL. Six children (9.2%) had high blood lead levels according to CDC and AAP criteria. There was no significant correlation between blood lead and hemoglobin level (r=0.05
