Most industrial exposure is from breathing inorganic lead dust and fumes. Eating, drinking and smoking on the work site or carelessly handling contaminated objects can result in unintentional exposure to lead. Once it enters the body, lead is stored in three places: the blood, body organs and bones.
Lead can accumulate in our bodies over time, where it is stored in bones along with calcium. During pregnancy, lead is released from bones as maternal calcium and is used to help form the bones of the fetus. This is particularly true if a woman does not have enough dietary calcium. Lead can also cross the placental barrier exposing the fetus the lead.
