WHAT IS LEAD PAINT?
Lead is a highly poisonous material that is everywhere. Unfortunately, you can’t see or smell it. Lead can be found in house paint (prior to 1978), plumbing materials, dirt & soil, utensils, batteries, furniture & toys (prior to 1976 or made outside of the US), fishing sinkers, art sets for children, and more.

LEAD PAINT POISONING
Lead poisoning occurs when you absorb too much lead by breathing or swallowing a substance with lead in it, such as food, dust, paint, or water. Too much lead in the body can cause irreversible problems in growth and development in children and cause serious health problems for adults. The most common source of lead poisoning is from lead-based paint and dust found in old homes or buildings.
LEAD PAINT & CHILDREN
Lead poisoning -- at levels that do not cause immediate symptoms -- can permanently damage kids' brains. Before their second birthday, children are particularly susceptible to lead poisoning. They are, of course, more likely than older children to put lead-contaminated hands or toys or paint chips in their mouths. Moreover, a child's gastrointestinal tract also absorbs lead more readily than does the adult gut. Most importantly, a child's rapidly developing brain is highly vulnerable to lead toxicity. Lead poisoning is almost never a single event in which a child ingests harmful quantities of lead, gets sick, and must be rushed to the hospital. Instead, lead poisoning is an insidious, month-by-month accumulation of lead in a child's body.
