What is lead poisoning, and why is it a concern?
Lead poisoning occurs when lead builds up in the body, often over months or years. It can cause serious health problems, especially in young children. Lead poisoning can affect mental and physical development, and at very high levels, it can be fatal.
How can I tell if my home has lead hazards?
Homes built before 1978 are more likely to contain lead-based paint. Common signs include chipping or peeling paint, especially in older homes. However, the only sure way to detect lead hazards is through a professional lead inspection.
Why is lead particularly dangerous for children?
Children are more vulnerable to lead poisoning because their bodies absorb lead more easily than adults. Lead exposure can severely affect their brain development, leading to cognitive and behavioral issues, learning disabilities, and other serious health problems.
