How does Lead effect your health?
Lead poisoning in kids remains a huge environmental health issue in the U.S.
You may get lead in your body if you:

- Consume paint chips or dirt that contains lead.
- Inhale lead dust, this is common during home renovations that remove or alter painted surfaces.
Lead poisoning is more severe in kids because:
Infants and children put their hands and other objects in their mouths. Their hands may contain many different kinds of germs, bacteria and harmful substances, including lead dust on them. Kids are always growing and their bodies absorb the lead before it can be digested. Children's brains and nervous systems are very sensitive to the very negative effects that lead can have on the body.
Children with high levels of lead in their bodies that go untreated can suffer from:
