Lead regulations

Lead regulations are laws designed to limit the amount of lead in products, environments, and workplaces to protect public health. Lead is a toxic metal that can cause serious health issues, especially in children, including developmental delays and learning disabilities. These regulations often focus on reducing lead in paint, plumbing, and toys, ensuring safe levels in drinking water, and managing lead exposure in occupational settings. Compliance is monitored through testing and enforcement measures, aiming to minimize risk and ensure safety for everyone, particularly vulnerable populations.
