Lead Exposure Mitigation

Lead exposure mitigation involves actions taken to reduce or prevent contact with lead, a harmful metal. Since lead can cause health problems, especially in children, strategies include testing and removing lead-based paint from older buildings, cleaning dust regularly, preventing soil contamination near homes, and ensuring water supplies are free from lead pipes. Proper awareness and safety practices help protect people from inhaling or ingesting lead particles. These measures are crucial for maintaining a safe environment and preventing lead-related health issues.
