Paint is still the greatest danger for exposure to lead, especially in children.
Functions Lead is a natural element with thousands of uses. Keep your home as dust free as possible and everyone should wash their hands before eating. Dispose of old painted toys if you do not know whether they have lead-free paint. If your water has been tested high in lead, consider installing an effective filtering device or switch to bottled water for drinking and cooking. Avoid canned goods from foreign countries until the ban on lead soldered cans goes into effect.
