Lead Standards

Lead standards refer to regulations and guidelines set to limit the amount of lead allowed in various products and environments, aimed at protecting public health. Lead is a toxic metal that can cause serious health issues, especially in children, including learning disabilities and developmental problems. Standards exist in contexts like drinking water, paint, and consumer products, ensuring they contain lead levels that are safe for human exposure. These regulations help minimize the risks associated with lead exposure, promoting a healthier environment and safeguarding vulnerable populations.
