Lead can be found in... - Old paint (paint made before 1978) - Older glasses, usually used for display - Lead-coated pipes - Lead solder - Drinking water - Household dust - Some folk remedies - Storage batteries - And more!

You can prevent lead poisoning by not using older handmade glasses, taking canned food out of its cans immediately, replacing lead or copper water pipes, painting over lead paint on your house, avoiding folk remedies such as greta, and more.
Did you know... ...lead poisoning can lead to your muscles wasting and mental retardation? ...lead affects children worst since their growing bodies are sensitive to lead?
Did you know... ...unborn children are most vulnerable to lead poisoning? ...very high levels of lead causes throwing up, seizures, coma, and more? ...lead was used in house paint before 1978, when it was outlawed?
