Lead Poisoning
Saturday, September 1st, 2007Pregnant women and children are at the highest risk for lead poisoning. Lead exposure can be harmful to young children and unborn babies. Lead crosses the placenta in the womb, and the child ingests the poison through fetal absorption. Those living in pre-1980 housing most likely have lead-based paint. Many infants and children often ingest paint chips or dust from lead based paint, which enters the blood stream and over time becomes toxic in the system.
In addition to women and children, there are a large number of people working in jobs that expose them to lead. Workers may ingest and inhale lead dust and fumes, as well as bring it from their job sites into their homes. Proper protection should be applied to lead exposed industries to prevent any health complications. It’s estimated that over one million workers are exposed to lead everyday at their jobs in industries like painting, construction and renovation, lead smelters, battery plants, auto repair, plumbing, and firing ranges.
