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 is a metal found in the earth, and it is a poison. For years, lead was used in paint, gasoline, plumbing and many other items. Lead can still be found in some products sold today. As these things are used or get worn out, the lead they contain can spread.Lead paint was banned from home use in 1978. If you live in a home built before 1978, or near a busy road, there could be lead in your house dust and soil.ften, lead poisoning is caused by lead you can't even see. Dust from lead paint is still the number one source of childhood lead poisoning. Lead poisoning can cause problems with a child's growth, behavior, and ability to learn. Lead can also harm babies before they're born.
