Lead Paint is Highly Toxic
The reason to remove the lead paint from your home is that it can cause serious health problems when ingested. Lead is a dangerous heavy metal that causes lead poisoning which can lead to learning disabilities and behavioral problems in children. Lead poisoning can also cause seizures, brain and nervous system impairments, internal organ damage and anemia in adults. No amount of lead ingestion is safe, so it’s important to safeguard yourself and your family from this serious health risk.
Lead Poisoning From Lead Paint
No one sets out to ingest lead paint, it happens mistakenly. When homes get older, paint peels, cracks and falls to the floor where children and animals can ingest it. Paint particulates can also settle on household surfaces where they are inadvertently ingested. Lead paint is most commonly ingested via breathing when dust particulates are emitted into the air as windows and doors painted with lead paint are opened and closed.
