Inorganic lead compounds

Inorganic lead compounds are chemical substances that contain lead combined with other elements, excluding carbon. These compounds can be found in various forms, such as lead oxide or lead sulfide. Historically, they were used in products like paints, batteries, and plumbing. However, lead is toxic and can cause health issues, especially in children. Due to these risks, many uses of inorganic lead compounds are now restricted or banned in many countries. Understanding these compounds is crucial for public health and environmental safety.
