Lead

Exposure

Although lead is naturally occurring, it can be dangerous. Lead based paint is a common source of lead poisoning but is not the only way to be exposed to lead. Certain professions or hobbies can also increase your risk of lead exposure. 

Lead levels can be easily checked by a blood test. Lifestyle changes and medical treatment can lower lead levels. High levels of lead can be especially dangerous for young children and women who are pregnant. For adults, lead can lead to high blood pressure or kidney issues. For children, lead can stunt their growth and cause learning problems. 

Learn more about lead exposure, treatment and prevention strategies here.
