A bit of History on Lead Poisoning

In 1978, the United States banned the use of lead-based paint in houses, hospitals, schools, parks, playgrounds, daycares, and public buildings. Today, about 64 million U.S. homes may contain lead-based paint. Lead is a highly toxic metal that may cause a range of health problems, especially in young children. When lead is absorbed into the body, it can cause damage to the brain and other vital organs like the kidneys, nerves, and blood. Lead may also cause behavioral problems, learning disabilities, seizures, and in extreme cases, death. Children and pregnant women are at highest risk for lead poisoning. Some symptoms of lead poisoning may include headaches, stomachaches, nausea, tiredness, and irritability. Children who are lead poisoned may show no symptoms. Both inside and outside the home, deteriorated lead-paint mixes with household dust and soil may be tracked into the home.

Some examples of how children and family members may become lead poisoned are:

Playing in lead-contaminated soil

Putting their hands or other lead-contaminated objects into their mouths,

Home renovation and repairs

Toys with lead paint

Deteriorating lead-based paint

Eating paint chips found in homes with peeling or flaking lead-based paint, or
