Q. How does lead get into your body?
A. Lead is transferable through inhalation and ingestion. Although you cannot absorb lead through your skin, it is important to wash your hands after handling products with hazardous levels of lead in order to avoid transferring lead particles on your hands to your mouth or someone else’s mouth. This is particularly important around young children who may put objects in their mouths.
Q. What are the dangers of lead poisoning?
A. Lead poisoning is particularly dangerous for pregnant women and children because it is proven to cause neurological damage and developmental disorders when blood toxicity reaches hazardous levels. Lead can also cause illness in adults when exposure is severe. Most common adult over-exposure occurs in careers involving soldering, welding, construction, mining or industries with high chemical exposure. These are typical jobs that expose individuals to high levels of airborne lead. Children are more susceptible to damage from common household objects containing lead such as paint, soil, some toys, etc. because they put unsafe objects in their mouths.
