As part of Lead Poisoning Prevention Week, which continues through Oct. 24, the US Environmental Protection Agency is urging families to be aware of the hazards presented by lead and lead-based paint in the home and in childcare facilities.
Lead poisoning is the number one environmental health threat to children in the United States, ages 6 and younger. And families may have lead around the home without knowing it because it can’t be seen, tasted, or smelled. Because it does not break down naturally, lead can remain a problem until it is removed.
