Lead Poisoning Risk Assessment

Lead poisoning risk assessment involves evaluating potential exposure to lead, a toxic metal harmful to health, especially in children and pregnant women. This assessment considers factors like the age of buildings (lead paint in older homes), occupational hazards, and environmental sources (like contaminated soil). It examines individual and community risks by identifying vulnerable populations and determining possible lead sources. The goal is to identify high-risk areas and implement preventive measures to reduce exposure, ensuring the health and safety of those at risk from lead-related health effects.
