 Protecting children from exposure to
lead is important to lifelong good health. No safe blood lead level in children
has been identified. Even low levels of lead in blood have been shown to affect
IQ, ability to pay attention, and academic achievement. And effects of lead
exposure cannot be corrected.
The goal is to prevent lead exposure to children before they are harmed. There are many ways parents can reduce a child’s exposure to lead. The most important is stopping children from coming into contact with lead. Lead hazards in a child’s environment must be identified and controlled or removed safely.
