OUR KIDS Lead is a silent hazard. Invisible lead in the dust in your home, in your drinking water and in the soil around your home can poison your child with no noticable symptoms.
Lead poisoning affects the child's developing brain.
Lead poisoning at even low levels cuts the child's IQ and causes learning and behavior problems. Infants and toddlers are especially at risk. There is no cure for low-level lead poisoning. Prevention is the parent's only antidote. Acute lead poisoning, which does have symptoms, can be fatal and must be treated.
