Protect Your Family From Lead In Your Home

Lead from paint, dust, and soil in and around your home can be dangerous if not managed properly:

• Children under 6 years old are most at risk for lead poisoning in your home.

• Lead exposure can harm young children and babies even before they are born.

• Homes, schools, and childcare facilities built before 1978 are likely to contain lead-based paint.

• Even children who seem healthy may have dangerous levels of lead in their bodies.

• Disturbing surfaces with lead-based paint or removing lead-based paint improperly can increase the danger to your family.

• People can get lead into their bodies by breathing or swallowing lead dust or by eating soil or paint chips containing lead.
