Lead Contamination at Work: A Danger for Employees, Their Families, and the Community…
In our homes, there can be various sources of lead exposure, as lead has been used in many products. It can be found in some toys, children’s jewelry, plates and glasses, cosmetics, playgrounds, vintage items, and paint.
As stated by the World Health Organization, the main source of lead poisoning is lead based paint. It can be found on the walls, window frames, doors, fences, porches, and stairs, especially in old houses built before the 1970s. When old paint deteriorates, lead dust spreads on the floor and surfaces of the house, causing a health hazard.
Consequences on Health
Lead is a neurotoxin which is especially harmful to children. Our children are the most affected by the risks of lead contamination. In their growth phase, their bodies and brains absorb 4 to 5 times more lead than adults (World Health Organization). This has serious consequences on their health (reduced IQ, increased antisocial behavior, anemia, hypertension, kidney failure, reproductive issues, and in severe cases coma, convulsions, and death).
