Lead Hurts Kids
Lead poisoning is one of the most serious environmental health threats to children in the United States. Elevated blood lead levels can retard young children's mental and physical development. EPA and other state, federal, tribal, and local agencies are working to protect children from exposure to lead-based paint, which is the most common source of lead poisoning. Greater public awareness about lead hazards and lead safety rules can help save children from this preventable tragedy.
