Lead Poisoning

Lead poisoning still remains to be America's No. 1 source of lead exposure in children.  Young children frequently put their thumbs and fingers and many objects they handle into their mouths, and they are easily poisoned from chronic ingestion of lead paint chips and house dust or soil that may have lead particles in it. Lead particles emitted by the past use of leaded gasoline are also in the soil, especially near major highways.  Lead persists at some work sites and, occasionally, in drinking water, ceramic ware, and a number of other products.

Lead affects virtually every organ in the body and has serious health effects, especially for young children. The younger the child, the more susceptible they are to the toxic effects of lead.
