Lead Poisoning 

Lead can be very harmful, especially to young children. The most important step parents can take is to prevent lead exposure before it occurs.

  • Childhood lead poisoning at low levels may make learning difficult, interfere with growth, harm hearing and delay development.  
  • Childhood lead poisoning at high levels may cause coma, convulsions and even death.

Lead can be found throughout a child's environment, including:

  • homes built before 1978 that contain lead-based paint
    • peeling and cracking paint makes lead dust that can poison children when they swallow or breathe in the dust
  • certain water pipes
  • some consumer products, such as some toys and jewelry
  • some candies imported from other countries or traditional home remedies
  • certain jobs and hobbies involve working with lead-based products may cause parents to bring lead into the home.
