  • Description: Lead is number one environmental poison to all forms of life even for high altitude dwellings. Lead is also used in paints, pigments and in traditional medicines apart the production of various cosmetics used by high landers who were using natural dyes earlier. Of late one of the major source of lead to high landers is from UPS batteries. Lead is known to have deleterious effects on antioxidant enzymes. Work carried out by the authors on the blood lead levels have indicated the elevated blood lead levels in many high landers. Elevated BLL is also found to have an impact on the Intelligent Quotient (IQ). Author has found that most of the vegetable dyes used for dyeing and for of age old Thanka paintings by Tibetan high landers are being replaced by synthetic dyes resulting in high exposure to lead. Though many studies indicate that younger children involved in Thanka paintings have disturbed cognitive functions resulting in imperfect art work. And lack of attention.
