Health Risks
Lead is harmful when it enters the body, particularly for children and pregnant women. Lead exposure can cause various health issues. Some of these problems are irreversible and can last a lifetime. In severe cases, lead poisoning is fatal.
Children
Children are particularly vulnerable to the effects of lead poisoning because their bodies are still developing, and they tend to absorb lead more easily than adults. Even low levels of lead exposure in children can have long-lasting and irreversible effects on their health and development.
Preventative
The good news is that lead poisoning is entirely preventable. By being lead safe through lead testing and addressing sources of lead in the home, such as lead-based paint, we can significantly reduce the risk of exposure.

Health Risks Of Lead
Encountering lead carries a multitude of health hazards. Even minimal exposure to this substance can precipitate a range of health complications. Children, due to their ongoing brain development, are particularly susceptible. Risks for children include learning disabilities, anemia, as well as physiological and behavioral disorders.
Moreover, lead exposure poses a significant threat to pregnant women and their unborn babies. Potential dangers during pregnancy encompass heightened risks of miscarriage, premature birth, and developmental abnormalities affecting the fetus's brain, kidneys, and nervous system.
Lead Poisoning
Lead poisoning stands out as another significant concern, presenting an even graver risk to young children and unborn infants. For those who are pregnant or have young children residing in older homes potentially containing lead, arranging for a home inspection is strongly advised. If lead is detected, prioritizing the replacement of such materials becomes paramount. In some cases, lead paint may be sealed rather than removed outright to mitigate the risk of releasing harmful contaminants during the removal process.
Even following the removal of lead-based materials, regular testing by a healthcare professional remains imperative. While avoiding areas contaminated with lead is paramount, consistent exposure or prolonged exposure necessitates regular check-ups with a healthcare provider to safeguard one's well-being. Standard blood tests can gauge the health risks associated with lead exposure. In cases of severe exposure, additional measures such as chelation and EdTA therapy, as noted by the Mayo Clinic, may be required.
