All Children Can Be Exposed to Lead

The All Children Can Be Exposed to Lead website provides real-world examples of how children have been exposed to lead. It emphasizes that lead exposure is not limited to a specific demographic, and that no safe blood lead level has been identified for children. The resource includes firsthand accounts from parents whose children were exposed to lead through sources like contaminated soil, home renovations, swimming pool equipment, plumbing fixtures, and toys. The website emphasizes hiring certified lead inspectors or contractors trained in lead-safe practices for home repairs and renovations and talking to your healthcare provider about lead exposure and whether blood lead testing is needed.
