Lead poisoning is a major environmental health problem for adults and children alike. Lead poisoning may occur by accidental ingestion of lead dust or paint chips and breathing in lead dust during building renovations. Babies and children are especially vulnerable to lead poisoning because they tend to frequently put their hands and other objects in their mouths. Children's bodies and brains are more susceptible to the effects of lead.
Children who have been poisoned by lead usually suffer from damage to the brain and nervous systems, behavioral problems, learning problems, slowed growth, hearing problems, and headaches. Adults who have been poisoned by lead usually suffer from reproductive problems, high blood pressure, nerve disorder, difficulty with memory and focus, and pain in the muscle and joints.
