Lead Health Effects

Lead exposure can negatively impact health, especially in children, pregnant women, and those with some health conditions. It may cause developmental delays, learning difficulties, and behavioral problems in children. In adults, it can raise blood pressure, cause kidney problems, and lead to reproductive issues. High levels of lead exposure can damage the brain, nervous system, and organs. Since lead accumulates in the body over time, even small amounts can be harmful with long-term exposure. Reducing exposure is crucial to prevent serious health effects and protect overall well-being.
