Did
you know that lead is one of the most common environmental
toxins? Even more importantly, did you know that
exposure to high levels of lead can cause serious
health effects?
Well its true. Lead is found almost everywhere
and it is extremely toxic to humans, especially
children.
Each year, there are an estimated 500,000 children
in the United States that have toxic levels of
lead in their bodies. Because of this, governments
around the world have developed programs to help
prevent unnecessary exposure to this environmental
toxin.
We have outlined important information below
that explores the facts surrounding lead, where
it can be found, what health effects it has on
the body and how high levels of exposure can be
prevented.
